› $150,000,000 verdict in personal injury case
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission unanimously approved a new rule that will require manufacturers of “durable” infant and toddler products to establish a product registration program. The Commission approved the new measure on December 16, 2009.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of 3 “Bonavita” crib models manufactured by Cranbury, N.J., based LaJobi Industries, a company that manufactures and distributes high-end juvenile furniture.
Children’s furniture manufacturer Munire of Piscataway, N.J., has recalled 3,000 cribs and 6,000 pieces of matching furniture. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that a child fell ill after ingesting some of the paint off a piece of Munire furniture. The child was diagnosed with lead poisoning, prompting investigators to examine the child’s crib. Paint samples taken from the child’s furniture showed that the finish violates federal lead paint standard.
As we have been reporting, according to the Associated Press, on October 20, 2008, 1.6 million cribs were recalled after the death of two eight-month-old infants. The infants became stuck in the gaps of the cribs, resulting in them both suffocating. In Delta Enterprise Cribs, if safety pegs are not installed or fail to engage, the drop-side separates, resulting in a gap in which babies can get stuck.
Following on the heels of an announcement this week recalling nearly 1 million cribs manufactured by Delta Enterprise Corp., the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports its Early Warning System, created in Fall 2007, is working to warn consumers of concerns with the durability of cribs. The agency says since the Early Warning Sytem was implemented, it has conducted five crib recalls where “hardware was broken, missing or otherwise failed to function.”
This week, the news of a serious defect in cribs manufactured by Delta Enterprise Corp., of New York, NY, was released by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Today the agency said the voluntary recall will affect 985,000 drop side cribs. The affected cribs are missing safety pegs, which can result in entrapment and suffocation of infants and toddlers when crib locks can disengage and detach, creating a hazardous gap.
