More Cribs Recalled
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recently announced another crib recall due to safety issues from possible defects. This recall follows previous recalls for defective cribs including Stork Craft drop-side cribs, Dorel Asia drop-side cribs, and Generation 2 Worldwide cribs. The Commission stated Simplicity Cribs are unsafe because metal supports on the cribs can detach or bend, leading the mattress support to collapse. The cribs pose a serious risk of injury or death due to possibility of entrapment, strangulation, suffocation or fall hazards for children.
The Safety Commission has received a report of death due to suffocation of a child who became trapped between the mattress and crib frame. In addition, the Safety Commission has received 13 additional incidents of crib collapse and injuries from the defect.
All Simplicity Cribs with the metal mattress support frames have been recalled regardless of model number, including the following:
· Aspen 4-in-1 (8755)
· Chelsea Deluxe 4-in-1 Convertible Sleep System (8324)
· Graco 4-in-1 Ultra Sleep System (4600)
· Graco Aspen 3-in-1 (8740)
· Simplicity Crib and Changer Combo (8994)
· Simplicity Ellis Deluxe 4-in-1 Convertible Sleep System (8676)
· Simplicity Nursery-in-a-Box Convertible Crib (8910)
