2026-05-01 – A Delta children W120650-1352 crib has been linked to a limb entrapment hazard that resulted in an infant's fracture, according to a report filed with the CPSC SaferProducts.gov database. The incident, reported by the parent, highlights a potential gap in crib safety standards regarding limb entrapment, as current federal regulations primarily address head entrapment. Product DetailsBrand Name: Delta children Incident OverviewOn the date of the incident, the child's arm became caught between the crib slats in a similar manner. As she moved and rolled, her body weight applied force to the trapped limb, resulting in a fracture. The parent described the mechanism of injury as consistent with a scenario where a limb is immobilized while the body continues to move, creating rotational force. The parent noted that this type of entrapment risk does not appear to be adequately addressed by current crib safety standards, which focus primarily on head entrapment. Following the incident, the parent immediately sought emergency medical treatment and removed the crib from use the same day, replacing it with a pack and play to eliminate further risk. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Limb entrapment between crib slats can cause fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue injuries when a child's body weight creates leverage against a trapped limb. The rotational force generated can lead to spiral fractures, as described in the incident. Long-Term Risks: Repeated entrapment incidents may cause cumulative soft tissue damage or growth plate injuries in young children, potentially leading to long-term orthopedic issues. Who Might Be Affected: Infants and toddlers who use cribs with slat spacing that allows limb passage are at risk. Children who are active sleepers or prone to moving during sleep are particularly vulnerable. Warning Signs: Parents may observe a child's limb becoming caught between slats during sleep or play, requiring intervention to free the limb. Repeated occurrences indicate a heightened risk of injury. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Discontinue use of the crib if your child has experienced limb entrapment or if the slat spacing allows a limb to become stuck. Consumers who have suffered injury or property damage due to a product defect may wish to speak with a product liability attorney about their legal options. Manufacturer's ResponseDelta Enterprise Corp responded to the incident report, stating that their crib slats adhere to mandated federal requirements which establish slat dimensions and spacing to avoid head entrapment.
