The product, in the report: Lana drop side crib in cherry made by C&T International
I purchased a Lana crib in 2007 before the birth of my son in 2008. This crib was recalled in 2010 by CPSC (Release #10-222). The company, C&T International, provided an immobilization kit for the drop side crib in order to comply with the recall. On January 28, 2013, I tried to install the immobilizer kit on the fully assembled crib in my home.
The problem is that the kit, as provided, would not assemble on the Lana crib I had purchased using C&T’s directions. C&T, provided 2 immobilizer brackets and 2 locking washers to be added, via a set of instructions, to the drop side part of the crib. After much difficulty, I actually got one of the assemblies together in the manner prescribed by the instructions. The difficulty came from the fact that the bolt the new locking washer and immobilizer bracket were supposed to fit on was TOO SHORT to hold both the locking washer and the bracket with the native wingnut. Once the locking washer was removed, the wingnut went back onto the bolt just fine. At one point, I took a pair of pliers and squeezed one of the locking washers until it was flatter. After some trying, this seemed to work and the assembly was holding. However, I gave it one more turn to make sure it was on tight and the whole thing popped off the bolt again.
In my opinion, this immobilizer kit is more dangerous that the original failure. People are expecting a rational, well thought-out fix to a relatively simple problem. In fact, with an immobilizer kit that contains only 4 parts, 2 brackets and 2 locking washers, I find it almost impossible to comprehend how this comapny, C&T, STILL could not figure out how provide consumers with a safe, easy fix to their original design flaw.
I have currently removed both locking washers and have tightened the assembly with the wingnut and the immobilizer bracket in place. I’m not sure what I expect here but to me it is incomprehensible that a company that manufactures a child’s crib that is subsequently recalled by the CPSC can provide a solution that, in itself, doesn’t work. Ignorance or incompetence?
