**More than two million cots have been recalled in the US and Canada over fears that a defect could cause children to suffocate.**The recall concerns cots made by Canadian firm Stork Craft Manufacturing, around 150,000 of which carry the Fisher Price logo.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said four child deaths were related to the defective cots.
The recall involves 1.2 million cots in the US and about one million in Canada.
The cots were made and distributed between 1993 and 2009, and were sold at major retailers including Wal-Mart and Costco.
The commission said there was a problem with plastic sides of the cots, which could fall off, creating a dangerous space between the cot and the mattress.
“The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space which can lead to suffocation. Complete detachment of the drop-sides can lead to falls from the crib,” the commission explained.
