Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc. is recalling more than 2.1 million drop-side cribs, including about 147,000 Stork Craft drop-side cribs with the Fisher-Price logo. The recall involves approximately 1,213,000 units distributed in the United States and 968,000 units distributed in Canada.

Parents and caregivers are asked to stop using the recalled cribs until they obtain a free repair kit by contacting the company using the number below.

The cribs' drop-side plastic hardware can break, deform, or parts can become missing. In addition, the drop-side can be installed upside-down, which can result in broken or disengaged plastic parts. All of these problems can cause the drop-side to detach in one or more corners. When the drop-side detaches, it creates space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space, which can lead to suffocation. Complete detachment of drop-sides can lead to falls from the crib.

This recall involves Stork Craft drop-side cribs and Stork Craft drop-side cribs with Fisher-Price logos. The recall does not involve cribs that do not have a drop-side. This recall does not involve cribs with metal rod drop-side hardware. It involves only cribs with plastic trigger and one-hand-system drop-side hardware.

This recall includes Stork Craft cribs with manufacturing and distribution dates between January 1993 and October 2009 and Stork Craft cribs with the Fisher-Price logo that have manufacturing dates between October 1997 and December 2004.

The Stork Craft cribs with the Fisher-Price logo were first sold in the U.S. in July 1998. The firm's insignia "storkcraft baby" or "storkling" is inscribed on the drop-side teething rail of some cribs. In Stork Craft cribs that contain the "Fisher-Price" logo, the logo can be found on the teething rail, in the manufacturer's instructions, on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board, and on the end panels of the Twinkle-Twinkle and Crystal crib models.

Salomon USA is recalling about 10,000 alpine ski bindings. The toe component of the ski bindings could fail to fully secure the ski boot to the ski binding, causing the binding to release unexpectedly.

"Salomon" or "Atomic" and the respective model number are displayed on the ski bindings. The toe components bear a production date code ending in "8" that can be found on the center plate where the toe of a ski boot contacts the toe component of the bindings.

Consumers should return the Salomon-brand ski bindings to any authorized Salomon ski dealer, or return the Atomic-brand ski bindings to any authorized Atomic ski dealer for a free replacement of the toe component.
