Recall: All Pottery Barn Kids Drop-Side Cribs + Upcoming Ban on Drop-Side Cribs

Pottery Barn Kids has announced a recall on all of their drop-side cribs regardless of the model number. The cribs' drop-sides can detach when hardware breaks, creating a space into which a young child can become entrapped, leading to suffocation. Consumers should contact Pottery Barn Kids at 877-804-3847 to request a free fixed-gate conversion kit that will immobilize  the drop side. To see the entire recall release, go here.

This recall comes as the government is passing new mandatory standards  for cribs which would ban the manufacture and sale of drop-side cribs. You can read this morning's article from CNN here.
