Understand the issue

The cribs' stationary side can be assembled upside-down but still appear to be assembled correctly. If assembled upside-down, the crib side contains a hazardous five-inch gap at the top of the crib. Infants or toddlers can become entrapped in this gap (as depicted in the photo), which can lead to entrapment, strangulation or other injuries.

All Child Craft brand cribs with the foot top dowel (as shown in the photos) including, but not limited to, the following model: Name: Child Craft convertible cribs Model Number F36101. The name "Child Craft" appears on a label on the crib's frame and identifies the place of manufacture as Salem, Indiana or New Salisbury, Indiana. These cribs were manufactured by Child Craft Industries, Inc., which is no longer in business.
