Following the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) Safe Sleep Practices is something we feel incredibly passionate about here at SheKnows. Among other things, the AAP recommends that caregivers place babies on firm surfaces, on their backs, and alone in cribs (no stuffed animals or blankets!) to help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Another way to help keep your kids safe when they’re sleeping is to make sure their sleep environment is safe. Each year, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and baby product companies recall cribs, mattresses, and toddler beds that fail to meet safety standards or have defects that pose risks to children.
With all recalled products, the recommendation is for consumers to stop using them immediately. And when it comes to big products like mattresses that have big risks, buyers may even be asked to cut them up to prevent future usage before being given a refund.
It’s important to note that just because a crib from Pottery Barn is recalled, for instance, that doesn’t mean all Pottery Barn products are unsafe. It doesn’t even mean all of those cribs are unsafe. It might just be one specific “batch” that has a problem. Parents and caregivers can find out which exact models are recalled on the CPSC website and in our list below along with what to do if they have a recalled product.
South Shore Cribs
More than 1 thousand South Shore Cribs were recalled in Nov. 2024 because the spacing between some of the slats is wider than federal safety standards permit, posing an entrapment hazard to kids.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact [email protected] to learn how to disassemble the product. Once disassembled, consumers should send a picture of the disassembled crib in the trash in order to receive a full refund. South Shore, Amazon and Walmart are contacting all known purchasers.
