Product recall: More SIMPLICITY cribs


According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, another 400,000 drop-side Simplicity cribs are being recalled, making 2.5 million recalls for the brand in the last four years and 13 tragic deaths. The CPSC reported that an 8 month old suffocated and died from a defected drop-side feature. Apparently the plastic hardware can dislodge, causing a gap between the railing and mattress where an infant can fall and suffocate.

The company is no longer in business.

IMPORTANT: Some of the products were made under the name Graco, and one of the play yards used the Fisher Price rainforest motif. Please check the model numbers here to see if you're using a recalled product.

Contact the CPSC at 800-638-2772 or info@cpsc.gov to report any incident with a Simplicity product.
