Product Recalled Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" Drop-Side Cribs

In Canada, this recall involves only the model numbers 592081, 592681 and 597431 for drop-side cribs made by Generation 2 Worldwide. The name "Generation 2 Worldwide" appears on a label attached to the cribs' headboard or footboard. Some of the recalled cribs may also have the name "ChildESIGNS" on the teething rail.
Companies Elfe Juvenile Products of Toronto and Montreal
Hazard Identified The cribs' plastic hardware can break or deform, causing the drop-side to detach. The cribs' mattress support can also detach from the crib frame. When the drop-side or mattress support detaches, it creates a space between the side of the crib and the mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped, which can lead to suffocation or strangulation, or they can fall out of the crib.

On February 9, 2010, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" drop side cribs. In the United States, the responsible company, Generation 2, is no longer in business.

Previously, Health Canada had not received information indicating that these cribs had been sold in Canada. However, Elfe Juvenile Products has recently informed Health Canada that they had distributed the recalled cribs in Canada during the time period indicated at the bottom of this notice.

In Canada, neither Health Canada nor Elfe Juvenile Products has received reports of injuries or incidents related to the use of these products. In the United States, there have been 3 reports of entrapments that led to infant suffocations and 20 other reports associated with drop side detachments, including 2 reports of entrapments and 5 reports of children falling out of the cribs. There have also been 8 reports of mattress support detachments.

Parents and caregivers are reminded to check their baby's crib regularly before using it and are instructed not to use it if any parts are loose or missing, of if there are any signs of damage. Do not repair broken parts with tape, wire, or rope.

Product Recalled Safety 1st and Dorel Drop-Side Cribs

This recall involves the 3-in-1 Carlisle drop-side crib with model number 10H020 in dark cherry, and the Tara drop-side crib with model number DAKM5132C in white. The crib name, model number, and "Dorel Distribution Canada" can be found on the assembly instruction sheet that is attached to the crib's mattress support board, as well as at the bottom of the crib's headboard.

The name "Dorel" or "Safety 1st" is printed on the crib's railing.
Companies Dorel Distribution Canada of Ville St-Laurent, Quebec
Hazard Identified The crib's drop-side plastic hardware can break or deform. In addition, the drop-side can be installed upside-down, which can result in broken or disengaged plastic parts. All of these problems can cause the drop-side to detach in one or more corners. When the drop-side detaches, it creates space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space which can lead to suffocation. Complete detachment of drop-sides can lead to falls from the crib.

In Canada, Dorel Distribution Canada has received 3 reports of the drop-side detaching from the crib and 4 other incidents where the slats on the crib broke. There were no reported injuries.

Health Canada has recieved 2 reports of incidents with no injuries.

Parents and caregivers are reminded to check their baby's crib regularly before using it and are instructed not to use it if any parts are loose or missing, or if there are any signs of damage. Only parts obtained from the original manufacturer must be used for repairs. Do not repair broken parts with tape, wire, or rope. Contact the manufacturer if replacement parts or additional instructions are needed.

For more information on safe sleeping practices for infants, see Health Canada's Next link will take you to another Web site Consumer Information: Safe Sleep Practices for Infants.
Corrective Action Consumers should carefully examine the plastic drop-side hardware for any signs of damage or that the drop-side is installed upside down. If there is any reason for concern, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.

Consumers should not return the crib. Dorel Distribution Canada will be making available a free repair kit that converts the drop-side of the crib to a fixed side. The repair kits will be provided to owners within the next several weeks.

If consumers determine that their drop-side has been installed upside down or that the drop-side hardware is broken, loose, missing, or deformed, they should immediately stop using the crib and find an alternative safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers may contact Dorel Distribution Canada to receive replacement parts in addition to the repair kit.

Loose-fitting children's sleepwear, including robes, can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear.

Product Recalled Cressi Ellipse Black MC5 Regulator (for scuba diving)

Joint recall with Cressi-sub USA, Health Canada and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC)

This recall involves Ellipse Black MC5 regulators by Cressi. The regulator controls the flow of air from an oxygen tank while scuba diving, allowing divers to breathe underwater. The words "Cressi Black" and "Cressi MC5" are printed on the regulator.
Companies Cressi-sub USA of Westwood, New Jersey ,
Divemar, Inc. of Greely, Ontario
Hazard Identified Partial obstruction of the High Pressure (HP) port can produce an inaccurate reading on the pressure gauge, as the needle in the pressure gauge may falsely indicate a higher pressure. This inaccurate reading on the gauge will leave the diver with the impression that there is more air in the tank than there actually is, thus posing a drowning hazard to divers.

Cressi-sub USA has received 3 reports of inaccurate pressure gauge readings while the scuba regulators were in use, with no reported injuries. Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these regulators.
Corrective Action Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to Divemar, Inc., the authorized Cressi dealer in Canada, who will correct the hazard.

For more information, consumers may contact Divemar, Inc. in Ontario at 1-613-821-2470. Alternatively, consumers may contact Cressi-sub in New Jersey at 1-201-594-1450.

The manufacture date, model number, and crib name are printed on the assembly instruction sheet that is attached to the mattress support board.

Stork Craft drop-side cribs: The recall includes products with manufacture and distribution dates between January 1993 and October 2009.

Stork Craft drop-side cribs with Fisher-Price logo: The recall also includes products with manufacture dates between October 1997 and December 2004.

The logo is also on the end panels of the Twinkle-Twinkle and Crystal crib models.
Companies Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. of Richmond, British Columbia
Hazard Identified The cribs' drop-side plastic hardware can break or deform. In addition, the drop-side can be installed upside-down, which can result in broken or disengaged plastic parts. All of these problems can cause the drop-side to detach in one or more corners. When the drop-side detaches, it creates space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space which can lead to suffocation. Complete detachment of drop-sides can lead to falls from the crib. Please note that these products meet current safety standards. However, the reported incidents have demonstrated that the plastic hardware can break.

In Canada, there have been 3 reports of entrapment and 8 reports of falls from these cribs. There have also been 32 other reported incidents related to broken plastic drop-side hardware.

In the United States, there have been 12 reports of entrapments, including 4 incidents of suffocation, and 12 reports of falls from these cribs. There have also been 43 other reported incidents related to broken plastic drop-side hardware.

Parents and caregivers are reminded to check their baby's crib regularly before using it and are instructed not to use it if any parts are loose or missing, or if there are any signs of damage. Only parts obtained from the original manufacturer must be used for repairs. Do not repair broken parts with tape, wire or rope. Contact the manufacturer if replacement parts or additional instructions are needed.

For more information on safe sleeping practices for infants, see Health Canada's Next link will take you to another Web site Consumer Information - Safe Sleep Practices for Infants.
Corrective Action Consumers should carefully examine the plastic drop-side hardware for any signs of damage or that the drop-side is installed up-side down. If there is reason for concern, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.

Consumers should not return the crib. Any consumer with a crib subject to this recall should contact Stork Craft to receive a free repair kit that converts the drop-side of the crib to a fixed side.

If consumers determine that their drop-side has been installed up-side down, or the drop-side hardware is broken, loose, missing, or deformed, they should immediately stop using the crib, find an alternative safe sleeping environment for their baby, and contact Stork Craft to receive replacement parts in addition to the repair kit.
