Two widely used children products have been recalled. If you have them, stop using them and get repair kits.

First are 635,000 cribs made by Dorel Asia SLR. The drop-side hardware on the cribs can fail, causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the side detaches, it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. CPSC and Dorel Asia received a report of the death of a 6-month-old from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who became entrapped and strangled in a crib after the drop-side hardware broke. The recalled cribs also pose a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard when a slat is damaged.
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.
Second, Graco Children’s Products is recalling 1.5 million Passage, Alano and Spree strollers. Some styles of the products have hinges on the canopy that could cut and/or amputate a child’s fingertip when the canopy is opened or closed.
This recall involves Graco-brand Passage^TM, Alano^TM, and Spree^TM strollers, distributed by Elfe Juvenile Products. The following model numbers are included in this recall:

All recalled strollers have dates of manufacture between October 2004 and February 2008. The model number and date of manufacture are located on the lower inside portion of the rear frame, just above the rear wheels.
