Manufacturers are in such a rush to bring product into the market that they don't apply any forethought or any proactive common sense, or critical analysis of their products.

Design, map and fly the plans to China for manufacturing.

Graco must be held liable for their lack of responsible review of the design and build of this product.

Maybe Parents should take better care of their children?

@InvasiveA Let me ask you; What are you? Racial wise.

@InvasiveA Yeah, it was old babies fingers being amputated. Nothing too important right? Fingers? Foreign fuck.

Did you see what happened to that pencil at 0:38 !?!?omg

If it is prob of " made in china" why Graco let them pass the Quality Inspection？ We have the law of Quality Inspection in US, do we?

"Ah! China China China!... yes, that's why! This would never have happened in good old USA"... very thoughtful folks. Truly enlightening.

I agree. I want to see more "Made in USA" stuff, too; especially for babies. Back in the late 80s and early 90s, there would be TV commercials saying "buy American." So, why were so many of our American manufacturing jobs taken away. If those jobs were here, American would be making these products once again and we'd also have better accountability and quality standards. But it's cheaper for the CEOs to operate those companies in China now and rip off the American consumer plus hurt our babies.

I am not sure if these specific models are DESIGNED in China. I think Moreoff made a good point in his post. I am just fed up of these greedy companies using "Made in China" as an excuse whenever recall occurs. Another problem is where can we find "Made in USA" stuff?

[CautiousSaint]

Because a lot of the junkiest products used by Americans today, especially baby items, are DESIGNED and manufactured in China. When such items were made in American (a LONG time ago), most of them were made with quality of workmanship, high safety standards, and old fashioned care. The crib I used as a baby was used by 3 generations and it was sturdy and safe.

[taylormtl]

This is apparently a design issue. Why the hell does it have anything to do with where it is made?

[CautiousSaint]

This junk is being made in China, thousands of miles away from corporate America. It's the same with all those junky drop-side cribs that have suffocated some babies. Corporate America sells out the jobs to China, letting them make products with poor quality/safety standards for Americans to buy. They're allowed to make this garbage and use it on our children. It's time for American parents to get mad enough to make a change.
