Oh, I didn't mean to sound insensitive to those 32 children and their families. If it was my kid, I'm sure I would be doing everything I could to outlaw them. My point was that there are other, much more dangerous things that I worry about a whole lot more. I don't think the danger level is ban-worthy, personally.
It seems like the bigger problem is cheap, plastic parts. Am I wrong? Wouldn't it be better/more effective to ban those?
32 deaths in 10 years. It would save more lives if they outlawed hot dogs.
My thoughts exactly. Some people can't see the forest for the trees. Until people put as much thought into selecting, properly using, and maintaining baby equipment as they do picking out their lunch, these problems will continue.

I agree with everyone else, there are much bigger fish to be frying.
Instead of banning drop-side cribs altogether, why not just ban unsafe parts - the cheap plastic ones PP mentioned?
FTR, drop-side cribs are invaluable to us shorties! At just over 5', I would be SOL without my drop-side crib. I do NOT feel stable enough standing on a stool trying to lift my daugher in and out of a fixed-side - it is much more dangerous, FOR ME.
From what I've seen wandering through BRU, the cribs seem to be getting lower to the ground to compensate for the lack of a drop side. Anyone else notice this? I guess it also will help for those kiddos who manage to climb out - the fall won't be so far if the crib is lower to the ground.
We ended up with two kids in cribs for a bit and the newer one was lower (both drop side though.)
