Crib Recall

As many parents in North America I am frightened, angry and upset by this Strokcraft recall, especially considering I have one of these cribs. My oldest son apparently slept in a death trap for the first year of his life, I'm not impressed! I understand that the company has a "repair kit" for the cribs but do they seriously expect parents to feel that their children are going to be safe in their beds?! I'm NOT going to risk it! This is my child's life and I'm not about to gamble with it. 
The CEO of the company, Jim Moore, said to CTV News "I know our product is safe." Seriously? Come on! Children have died and you are saying that your product is safe! When did you lose your soul?
My husband and I have decided to ditch the crib, do a little research into some other brands and hopefully we can come up with a solution. For now the baby can stay in his bassinet beside my bed with his angel care monitor on so I can know he is safe beside me!
What a frightening thing it is to be a parent as it is, who would have ever thought you would have to be frightened of your child's bed; how sad.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the children who have died and been injured.
