The companies involved are: Child Craft, Delta Enterprise Corp, Evenflo, Jardine Enterprises, LaJobi, Million Dollar Baby, and Simmons Juvenile Products Inc. The companies are all offering consumers free repair kits to immobilize the sliding sides. Consumers should not try to immobilize the sides through any other method.
