“a combination of hardware and design flaws that allow consumers to unintentionally install the drop side upside down. This installation could weaken the hardware and cause the drop side to detach from the crib, “
So, designed poorly by an American company, and assembled incorrectly by a parent who was unable to follow the assembly instructions, also undoubtedly written here. I don’t think this one is China’s fault at all.

Actually, there is room for doubt on whether the instructions were written in the USA or not.
