A voluntary recall of of 82,000 drop-side cribs has been issued by Pottery Barn due to the high risk that a child may become stuck within the frame and suffocate. This is the 12th recall of such cribs and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 32 children have died since 2000. The CPSC has also proposed a nation-wide ban on the product and may also require stronger mattresses to be installed in all cribs.
