Now there is a recall of Stork Craft Cribs, (a Canadian company), and most of the cribs are made...guess where...China.

Actual quality can't simply be pegged on the product's country of origin as it seems the author is implying. Bassett brand brags of being American made, but has had several recalls over the years for injuries and deaths caused by its products, including one recall just a year ago. Simplicity brand is another American made crib that has recently faced recalls for problems that could cause strangulation. Land of Nod recalled cribs in 2006 for having lead paint. This is not the end of the list. A purchase of a crib should be about the safety of the baby, not the parents' pride over being an American. Do research into the quality of the product and don't rely on over-generalized arguments like the one presented in this article.

Like I have said, Fisher-Price toys get checked at the door in my house. If killing babies doesn’t lessen the need to offshore manufacturing I don’t know what will.
