CPSC and Delta are re-announcing our 2008 recall for drop side cribs using safety pegs because we recently became aware of a death in 2009 in a second hand crib. This crib was bought at a thrift store and had been assembled and disassembled numerous times. The safety pegs that were supplied with the crib had been lost over time. We urge parents to go to our website http://www.cribrecallcenter.com or call us at 800.816.5304 to register to receive our free kit. While we feel the response rate to our original recall announcement was good, we still want to continue advising consumers not to use a crib without our free kit. Many of the cribs are over 10 years old and as the CPSC has stated "cribs older than 10 years should not be used and should be discarded in a way that they cannot be reused". We urge parents to never use a crib that is second hand. There is no way to know how the crib was used, stored or if it was handled in the proper manner. Many second hand cribs have been modified or improperly repaired by previous owners. Many have had their original hardware replaced with unauthorized hardware. All of these makes the crib unsafe for use.

For parents who will be using their own crib for a second or third child it is extremely important to follow the following:

1. Check www.CPSC.gov to find out if their crib or other juvenile items have been recalled.
2. Check all hardware to make sure nothing is missing or broken. Please check the hardware against the instructions to make sure you have everything listed.
3. Check all wood parts to make sure there are no cracks or loose joints.
4. Read all instructions and warnings carefully. Many manufacturers have on their websites new tips on assembly or videos of how to assemble your crib.
5. If you need replacement hardware or instructions, contact the manufacturer.
6. Immediately Stop using the crib if you notice anything broken or not working correctly.
7. NEVER, EVER, use screws, fasters or parts that did not come with your crib and are not recommended by the manufacturer. Never use Duct Tape or cable ties or glue or anything else to repair your crib. It may look safe to you but it is unsafe for your child.
