Incident Details
  • Incident Description: Hello, Purchased a children's furniture set from USA baby, located in Newington, CT 06109. The set came from Creations a Meridian company. I purchased the set in 2011 just before my daughter was born. We purchased a combo/dresser set, an armoire, and a convertible crib. The crib was sold to us as a piece that would "grow" as your child did. Meaning it started out as a crib, converted to toddler bed, then adding two side rails that we purchased from USA baby, it became a full size bed. On May 31st, while my daughter was sleeping, the headboard came apart from the two side rails of the frame. The wood of the rails split apart and the screws pulled out of each of the rails. This sent my daughter sliding down towards the headboard hitting her head. I have discovered that as of 2013, Creations is no longer in business. The only USA baby left has told me that they are each independently owned and could not help me. The Meridian company has also told me that they no longer carry Creations and could not help me. What recourse do I have and how do I let the proper authorities know that this crib is defective? I have my receipts for the purchase of all the pieces, photo's of the damage on the bed, and a copy of the warranty Creations had on their pieces. Any help would be greatly appreciated, [REDACTED] P.S. below is some of the information I have or you might need. USA Baby Creations, a Home Meridian Co.
