One death, is one too many. I think they are right in issuing the recall.  |

I agree with RM. There is a complete difference between cribs and lawnmowers (or cars, wine corks, etc.) Children are supposed to be safe in their cribs. That's why they are made.  |

Best to be sure than sorry hun..one little life is one too many. I'm sure if any of us had a child lost to those circumstances we would be calling for a recall..  |

The recall is sensible. They are probably not replacing the crib; they are probably going to give the consumer a device to fix the problem. A very good and common practice, and automobil, lawnmower and other manufacturers do this all the time.  |

I don't know of this recall, but I think it might depend. I don't have a kid YET so I'll assume when you buy a crib, you generally assemble it yourself, and if that's the case for these cribs, I don't think its a good recall. Well, possibly. The deaths may have been because someone didn't read the directions and didn't think of anything when there were a few extra bolts at the end, or something of that sort. If you have to assemble it and dont read the directions when it concerns a baby, it's the parents fault. If it is the crib itself malfunctioning, then I think it's fair. 4 deaths in that much time isn't a lot, but still, I wouldn't want to take the chance, especially because they're fighting a lawsuit.  |

One death is more than enough. I would rather them recall than have 1 more death.  |

they don't recall unless they discover something faulty. so it really is not a matter of whose fault it is if a child died. If something in the design is considered a danger they are being smart and responsible to recall. |

if there were no deaths and the design was discovered to be faulty and a danger they would still recall. It isn't based on the score of how many deaths actually occur. |

reading through your post and the replies, i came to the thought of how many deaths would it take for you to want them to issue a recall. sometimes they do drag their legs on recalls, and more kids get hurt, in this case it is better to be safe and issue the recall so parents can receive the parts they need to fix it.  |

would you still feel this way if your child was one of those 4?  |

i think they need to rethink their designs. they need to go back to using more metal and less plastic. and they need to think about all these kids that are out there having kids and don't have the sense it takes to watch for simple dangers.  |

Sensible. The crib has a MALFUNCTION.....it's irresponsible for them to NOT recall it.

More babies would die if you put them on the floor to sleep than in these cribs.  |
