The 2008 recall of Delta Enterprise drop-side cribs with “Crib Trigger Lock and Safety Peg” hardware has been re-announced after the discovery of a second infant death in 2009. The crib was re-assembled without safety pegs, and the 7-month-old girl suffocated after she became entrapped between the detached drop-side and the mattress of her crib. The crib’s drop-side rails can disengage from the track without the safety pegs, creating a space in which the infant can become entrapped and suffocate. The re-announcement involves more than 985,000 cribs “sold at major retail stores including Kmart, Target and Walmart between January 1995 and December 2005.”
