Carter Michael Pack was killed in a Stork Craft Storkling Model No. 5394009 Jan. 16, 2007 at his home in Fayette County. The cribs are part of a voluntary recall announced by the Canadian-based company Nov. 23. The recall includes 147,000 drop-side cribs.

After being put down for a nap, Pack became trapped between the drop rail and the mattress of his crib, according to information from The Bell Law Firm PLLC, which is representing the family. He was pronounced dead at Summersville Memorial Hospital at 4:55 p.m. Jan. 16, 2007.

Part of the issue is that the Stork Craft crib the Packs purchased came with wooden screws, which violates U.S. consumer protection laws, according to the law firm.

The Packs later filed a lawsuit against Stork in Kanawha County Circuit Court, "Jessica Pack et al v. Stork Craft Manufacturing Inc.

"Sadly, since the lawsuit was filed, Stork Craft's only response has been to stonewall and deny any responsibility for Carter's death, but this week's recall of more than 2 million cribs makes those denials ring hollow," said Harry F. Bell Jr., the Pack's attorney. "It is now clear that Stork Craft has known of these problems for a long time."

The recall is being done in conjunction with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Chairwoman Inez Tenenbaum said the agency was slow to react in the Stork case.

"We have just not been acting as quickly as we should have at the Consumer Product Safety Commission on these types of incidents," she said.
