Corporate Irresponsibility

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the world’s largest crib recall in history. Telling consumers to no longer purchase Stork Crafts drop down cribs. Four infants have died in these cribs and there have been over 100 incidents where babies have been trapped in the drop down side of the crib, or have fallen out of the crib. The reason that drop side cribs are so hazardous is because there are often parts that are broken misassembled or missing. For example the drop side of the crib can break off of the bar that holds the drop side in place causing a hazardous gap which can lead to a child’s entrapment. These cribs break very often causing the CPSC to consider banning drop side cribs all together.

    As a Manufacturer your job is to provide sufficient goods that aren’t hazardous to people. Manufacturers weren’t working hard enough to provide safety which probably is one of the main reasons of having a crib for your child in the first place. A crib is suppose to be a secure place for your child, but if we as consumers have to worry about our small children suffocating or getting entrapped and suffocating in your cribs why should people trust you to provide anything else. Money can’t bring a child’s life back, and the 4 children that have had their life taken away because of this product shows irresponsibility on your behalf.
