Dangerous Crib Recall & What You Need to Know
Dangerous Crib Recall & What You Need to Know
As parents, we all want to make sure our babies are safe, comfortable, and protected—especially when it comes to where they sleep. Unfortunately, not all baby products on the market are safe. A recent warning from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has revealed that the Hermixa 6-in-1 Convertible Crib poses serious dangers to infants, including entrapment, falls, and suffocation risks. This crib recall is one example of the many baby product recalls that have been issued.
If you own this crib, stop using it immediately—and if you don’t, this is an important reminder that not all baby products are as safe as they claim to be. At KBA Attorneys, we help families when dangerous products cause harm. Here’s what you need to know.
Why This Crib Recall is Dangerous
The Hermixa 6-in-1 Convertible Crib, sold on Amazon between February 2024 and August 2024, has multiple serious safety violations, including:
Entrapment Risk: The spacing between the crib slats is wider than the federal safety standard. This means that there is a possibility that a baby’s head, arms, or legs could get stuck. This could lead to serious injuries or even suffocation.
Fall Hazard: When used as a bedside sleeper, the crib does not have a secure attachment mechanism to an adult bed, and the side rail is too low. This increases the risk of a baby rolling out and falling.
Suffocation Hazard from Mattress: The mattress that comes with the crib is too thick, violating federal safety regulations and posing a fatal suffocation risk. Babies must always sleep on a firm, flat surface to prevent suffocation.
Illegal Padded Bumper Included: The crib also comes with a padded crib bumper, which is banned under federal law because it can block a baby’s airway, leading to suffocation.
What to Do If You Own This Crib
If you have this crib in your home, the CPSC urges you to stop using it immediately and dispose of it safely. Do not sell it, donate it, or give it away—it is too dangerous for any baby to use.
- Remove the crib from your home
- Report any safety concerns to the CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov
- Warn other parents who may have purchased this crib
Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not agreed to recall the product or offer refunds, meaning parents who bought it are left without a solution.
This is Just One Example—Dangerous Baby Products Are Everywhere
The Hermixa crib is just one of many unsafe baby products that have made it onto the market. Every year, cribs, strollers, car seats, and other baby essentials face recalls only after they injure and kill babies. Many parents assume that if a product is sold in major stores or on Amazon, it must be safe—but that’s not always the case. Unfortunately there have been far too many Infant and Baby Injuries from Consumer Products and Malpractice.
That’s why it’s critical to check for recalls and safety warnings before buying baby products. You can do this by:
- Checking the CPSC website regularly for new recalls
- Reading product reviews to see if other parents have reported safety concerns
- Avoiding second hand cribs and mattresses, which may not meet current safety standards
