SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260730-35D22-2147313182. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: Dream on Me Dream On Me Full-Size 2-in-1 Folding Baby Crib 673 (In mid-July 2026, my 2-year-old son was inside his Dream On Me Full Size Folding Crib when the structure experienced a sudden failure. While he was rocking inside the crib, the small screws securing a pivotal hinge came completely undone, causing the crib to collapse and my son to fall in. The crib design completely failed to withstand a toddlers rocking movements. This highlights a severe lack of inclusive design. Any autistic child who rocks in this crib - even if they are well under the 50 lb maximum weight recommendation - is at serious risk of the hardware coming undone and getting severely injured. I have documented this failure and reported it to the manufacturer, but they deflected responsibility, claiming my son is 2 inches over their 35-inch recommended max height. However, he is 28 lbs 7 oz, which is well under the 50 lbs maximum weight limit, and the screws had been noticeably loosening over several months while he was still under their height threshold. Furthermore, their customer service response was highly concerning and contradictory. They completely dismissed my safety concerns regarding my son and gave instructions to stop using the broken crib for him, but then shockingly suggested reusing the same broken, defective crib for another child. Additionally, this exact unit has been riddled with factory failures from the date of purchase - arriving in late 2023 completely missing its entire hardware kit and castors. Using small screws to support a pivotal, load-bearing hinge on a folding crib is a severe design and safety flaw, and the manufacturers cavalier attitude toward this hazard poses an immediate public safety risk to infants and toddlers.).
