The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the voluntary recall of about 1.5 million cribs following the death of an 8-month-old child.

Two separate drop side cribs made by Delta Enterprise Corp., of New York, New York are involved in the recall notice.

The CPSC said 600,000 drop side cribs were being recalled because the crib’s drop side can detach when the spring peg is not engaged, causing an entrapment and suffocation risk to infants and toddlers. An 8-month-old child suffocated when the drop side of his crib detached. CPSC also said there had been one child entrapment and one incident in which the drop side detached due to a disengaged spring peg.
