Two infant deaths have prompted the recall of nearly 1.6 million cribs by Delta Enterprises of New York. Drop-side cribs manufactured by the company may lack a safety peg or have spring pegs that have become worn after many uses. The company has set up a Web site to help owners of these cribs with the recall process. Customers can also call the company at 1-800-816-5304. All parents are reminded to never use any crib with missing, broken or loose parts.
