Crib Tent Recall

[YellowRose]

I know someone mentioned in the thread about moving out of a crib that they have a crib tent. I'm sure there are others, too.

CPSC issued a notice & recall regarding Tots in Mind crib tents. Read it here: www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml12/12179.html

That sucks SO bad. Makes me mad that they're being recalled.

yea we have them. Amazon emailed me about it since we bought them from them. I am at a loss as what to do because I was planning on them being in cribs till they were at least 3. (they are 2.5) I can't afford new beds right now. ugh this sucks.

Just make sure they're properly installed. They're perfectly safe if they are.

As with most things I've seen come across the CSPC list, if people would use the item correctly a recall wouldn't be necessary.

we have been using them since October and I am pretty sure they are installed properly.

I think for now we are just going to continue using them. I am not ready for them to have freedom

seriously - most recalls are b/c people are idiots - and the company then has to pay... and in the end we all pay b/c they have to charge more for other things.

I actually get a good laugh out of a lot of recall notices from CPSC (not child deaths obviously) but things like "Trampoline recall due to fall hazard"... "candle recall due to fire hazard"... really??? really? aren't those things ALWAYS a fall/fire hazard, etc?
