CPSC recall 11-179, announced March 22, 2011, covers Delta Enterprise "Safety Peg" Drop-Side Crib (about 985,000 units). Missing safety pegs can create a situation where the crib's drop-side rail disengages from the track. CPSC urges parents and caregivers to immediately stop using cribs that are missing a safety peg on either leg of the drop side and contact Delta to receive a free, easy-to-install repair kit. Recall contact: call (800) 816-5304, or go to www.cribrecallcenter.com.

Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
Missing safety pegs can create a situation where the crib's drop-side rail disengages from the track. This can create a hazardous space in which an infant can become entrapped and suffocate.
Incidents and injuries
In January 2011, CPSC and Delta learned of a 2009 death in which 7-month-old girl from Colorado Springs, Colo. became entrapped and suffocated between the detached drop-side and mattress of her recalled crib. The crib was purchased secondhand and re-assembled without safety pegs in the bottom tracks.
Official remedy
CPSC urges parents and caregivers to immediately stop using cribs that are missing a safety peg on either leg of the drop side and contact Delta to receive a free, easy-to-install repair kit. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to find a safe, alternative sleep environment for their child until the repair kit, with new safety pegs, is safely installed on the recalled cribs.
