The head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission concedes it has not been "acting as quickly as it should" on crib safety problems.
Interviewed on morning news shows in the wake of the largest-ever recall of cribs, Chairman Inez Tenenbaum pledged that her agency would "firmly but fairly" enforce a law Congress passed last year giving it greater regulatory authority.
More than 2.1 million drop-side cribs by Stork Craft Manufacturing of Canada are being recalled following reports of four infant suffocations. Tenenbaum said her agency is in the process of writing new safety rules and said in the meantime people should get rid of drop-side cribs or order kits from the manufacturer to immobilize crib sides.

Don't take this the wrong way but four out of two point one million. Thats not very many deaths. More kids are killed on bicycles every year and nobody is recalling them. Before people start jumping up and down and calling me bad names. I am not saying they should be killing babies. Just use common sence when dealing with an infant. I can see people going to yard sales to buy these and then taking them in to collect what ever they can get for them.
