Simplicity Drop Side Cribs |
| Description |
This recall involves all drop side cribs with a different or "newer" style of plastic hardware from those cribs recalled in September 2007. This newer style of Simplicity hardware can be identified by a flexible plastic tab at the top of the lower tracks. The recalled model numbers included but may not be limited to: 8050, 8325, 8620, 8745, 8748, 8755, 8756, 8765, 8778, 8810, 8994, 8995, 8996. |
| Problem |
The crib's plastic hardware can break or deform, causing the drop side to detach. When the drop side detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped which can lead to suffocation. |
| Distribution |
Department stores, children's stores, and mass merchandisers nationwide for between $150 and $300. |
| Company |
Simplicity Inc. and SFCA Inc. of Reading, Pa. (The firms appear to no longer conduct day to day operations.) -- Questions, please contact the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Recall Hotline at (800) 638-2772. |
