Crib & Bassinet Recalls

33 matching recalls in our database. Updated twice daily from CPSC, NHTSA, and FDA.

What this page covers

Recalls of cribs (full-size, mini, and portable), bassinets, bedside sleepers, and cradles — products intended as a sleep space for infants up to about twelve months old. We pull these from CPSC's official recall feed twice a day.

Why these products get recalled

The reasons repeat across the past decade:

  • Entrapment — a gap or opening that can trap an infant's head, neck, or limb. This was the failure mode that led CPSC to ban drop-side cribs in 2011.
  • Suffocation — soft, padded, or inclined sleep surfaces that don't meet the "firm and flat" requirement.
  • Fall and collapse hazards — weakened hardware that lets the bassinet tip or come apart.
  • Toxic content — lead in paint or finishes.

Federal safety standards apply: full-size cribs are governed by 16 CFR Part 1219, non-full-size cribs by 16 CFR Part 1220, bassinets and cradles by 16 CFR Part 1218, and bedside sleepers by 16 CFR Part 1236. Products that fail to meet these standards trigger a CPSC recall.

What to do if a recall affects you

  1. Stop using the product immediately. Move the infant to a firm, flat surface in a different crib or bassinet.
  2. Contact the manufacturer for the specific remedy — refund, repair kit, or replacement. The CPSC recall notice always lists how to do this.
  3. Don't resell or give it away. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act prohibits resale of recalled children's products.
  4. Register your crib or bassinet with the manufacturer so you're notified directly. CPSC also runs free recall email alerts at cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe.

Safe-sleep reminders

Independent of any specific recall: the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a firm, flat sleep surface, fitted sheet only, no blankets, pillows, bumpers, or soft toys, and placing the infant on their back for every sleep until age one.

Frequently asked questions

Are drop-side cribs still legal?
No. CPSC banned the sale, manufacture, and resale of drop-side cribs in 2011 under 16 CFR Part 1219 because of repeated entrapment and suffocation deaths.
Can I sell a recalled crib at a garage sale?
No. Federal law (the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) prohibits the resale of any recalled children's product, whether at a garage sale, online, or at a thrift store.
How do I tell if my specific crib is recalled?
Check the model number and date code on the label affixed to the crib against the recall notice. Manufacturers list the affected model and date ranges on every recall.
What's the difference between a bassinet and a bedside sleeper?
A bassinet is a standalone sleep surface. A bedside sleeper attaches to or sits flush against an adult bed. They're covered by separate federal standards (1218 for bassinets, 1236 for bedside sleepers).
Is co-sleeping safe in any product?
The AAP and CPSC recommend room-sharing without bed-sharing. Even products marketed as 'bedside sleepers' have to comply with the federal standard and the manufacturer's exact setup instructions to be used safely.
