The product, in the report: Crib, no drop side; wood, with metal mattress support
My son’s crib is constructed using barrel nuts, several of which face the sleeping area. We have reassembled this crib twice after moving. Each time, we have discovered badly corroded and broken-in-half barrel nuts. When broken, entire screws can slide out of place, leaving entire sides of the crib to disconnect. In out case, two broken nuts became stuck as we tried to use them, unaware that they had split. We were unable to remove half of one. This made the screw connection significantly less secure when the crib was fully assembled. Further, as the crib moves in daily use (baby’s and the family members’ who bump into/touch it), the front half of a broken barrel nut can fall out of its pre-drilled hole onto the baby’s mattress, creating an ingestion hazard. Because the barrel nuts are only replaceable with other barrel nuts, presumably subject to the same corrosion/breakage, I believe they were an unsafe choice for crib construction.

The product, in the report: Baby crib
12 month old baby has got his arm caught twice and his knee once in the slats of the crib. The slats have a 2 1/8 inch gap, I believe the gap is too narrow and should be larger to prevent this type of accident. Crib Manufacturer is Million Dollar Baby http://milliondollarbaby.zendesk.com/tickets/[REDACTED] Incident report at MDB Model # 5501 Ser # F1169-10A

The product, in the report: Million Dollar Baby “Kalani” crib and full size bed conversion kit
My son has the Million Dollar Baby crib “kalani” with the full size bed conversion kit. The bed rails are designed such that there is a 1 inch deep lip for the mattress and box springs to rest down into. The problem is that a full sized bed requires three 1x4 bed slats, and once the slats are in the boxspring no longer rests within the bedrails. It slides all around. One morning recently when my 4 year old was getting out of bed, because the boxspring had slid about a foot off the frame, he got caught completely between the bedrails and the boxspring. Prior to this on numerous occasions he has gotten his foot stuck the same way. Also, on one occasion, the mattress had slid so far off the bedframe, unbeknownst to us, that when my husband went to sit on the corner of the bed to read a bedtime story, that the mattress pivoted up in the air like a seesaw, nearly launching my son off the bed! I have contacted Million Dollar Baby on numerous occasions to try to report/resove this and they initially told me that the rails didn’t require slats and weren’t designed to used them, and when I told them that the mattress warranty required them, they changed their story to “you must have the bed assembled incorrectly.” So I sent them pictures that the bed was assembled the only way that it will go. They then said that the slats must be sitting ontop of the rails rather than resting within them, which is not true. They have since closed the complaint without resolving it. I have been very lucky that my son has not been injured worse than the few cuts, scrapes, and bruises. I feel that I shouldn’t have to check his bed every morning and evening to make sure he isn’t going to get hurt, and neither should other parents.
If desired, I can copy you on all of the emails that have been sent regarding this issue.
Sincerely, [REDACTED]
