What are your suggestions.?? http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-1043 Trevor Hodgins Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:46:37 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-1043 yes i agree as well i finally just got my recall fix and this a joke replace shit plastic pieces with more shit plastic and cant believe that they would make the drop side no functional so what happens when the plastic lock on the plastic rail that holds the new plastic fix on breaks and the fix and rail comes off then what this to me is a bull shit way to cover up some over paid suit because he sucks at his job and he doesn't care about safety because hes such a corporate asshole that he cant get a date Little own a woman to have kids with him http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-791 Dan Nedelko Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:52:51 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-791 @michael Very well put and I agree 100% - we also had to secure the drop side, making it a non drop side crib. This entire fiasco has me and my fiancee very turned off by the handling of this recall, the attitude of StorkCraft and their "solution". Which really isn't a solution at all. http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-790 Michael Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:57:09 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-790 Here's my letter to CPSC: I write to you to express my dissapointment with the storcraft drop side fix. We opted for drop side crib for a reason (and paid more money too) as it is easier and safer for a person of short statue to put child into bed. By forcing us to convert drop side crib into fixed side you're in effect creating unsafe conditions. I'm writing to you so you'll reconsider your positions on the storcraft fix and require manufacturer to dicontinue this band-aid solution and require a safe kit that does not remove needed functionality (of drop side). http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-789 Dan Nedelko Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:28:55 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-789 I understand that point of view and the StorkCraft CEO mentioned that in an initial press release, however I haven't seen any indication that they worked for months on this recall. In my opinion children had already been put at risk due to these issues with the drop side cribs. I have a number of issues with how StorkCraft responded to this recall, how they blamed the parents and owners of these cribs for improperly putting them together (putting the blame on the parents effectively). As a parent of a 7 month old boy with a StorkCraft crib I'm trying to get information out to people about these products and be helpful and to give my opinion on what I consider to be a shoddily run company. http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-788 Joseph Bench Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:13:36 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-788 In the persuit of the whole story I think the following should be added. Reports are saying that the recall was leaked early. This caused a massive surge which the company was not prepared for. They spent months working with government and had a release date ready. On this release date, they would have, presumeably, many more employees in place, and additional bandwidth - none of which can be ammassed overnight. I'm not trying to defend the company by any means, but if the argument is about their handling, this is definately a peice of the puzzle - if true that is. good luck on whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-723 Dan Nedelko Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:36:27 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-723 If you have a StorkCraft Crib here's a useful bit from the Toronto Star Article: They suggest emailing parts@storkcraft.com with the following information, all of which can be found on the bottom right corner of the mattress baseboard: model number of the crib, date of manufacture and country of manufacture. The company also asks parents to include complete shipping information in order to receive a free repair kit that will modify the cribs so the sides are fixed. parts@storkcraft.com with the following information, all of which can be found on the bottom right corner of the mattress baseboard: model number of the crib, date of manufacture and country of manufacture.

Companies that act like this simply won't survive http://dannedelko.com/brain-candy/screw-you-storkcraft.html/comment-page-1#comment-716 Mike Browne Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:20:23 +0000 http://dannedelko.com/?p=556#comment-716 Which PR boob that's about to get fired released that little gem?
