Soundbites: Acting Chairman Nancy Nord:

"Tragically three young children have died in these cribs - parents and caregivers should check immediately to see if their crib is included in this recall."

"Since the 1970s, CPSC and various safety groups have worked together to reduce crib-deaths by almost 90 percent. By recalling those cribs that still pose a danger to children, CPSC is aiming to further reduce deaths and injuries to infants and toddlers."

Spanish Soundbites: Arlene Flecha:

"Trágicamente tres niños pequeños han muerto en estas cunas. Los padres y cuidadores deben verificar inmediatamente si su cuna está incluida en este retiro del mercado."

"Desde los años 70, la CPSC y varios grupos de seguridad hemos trabajado juntos para reducir el número de muertes en cunas en un 90%. Al retirar del mercado aquellas cunas que aún representan un peligro para los niños, la CPSC espera reducir aún más la muertes y lesiones a los niños pequeños."
