| Problem |
These cribs pose a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment, strangulation, suffocation and fall hazards to infants and toddlers. The crib's tubular metal mattress-support frame can bend or detach and cause part of the mattress to collapse, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urges parents and caregivers to stop using these cribs immediately and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Do not attempt to fix these cribs. |
| Distribution |
The recalled cribs were sold at Walmart, Target, Babies R Us and other stores nationwide for between $150 and $300. |
| Company |
Simplicity and its successor, SFCA Inc., are no longer in business. Consumers should contact the store where the crib was purchased to receive a refund, replacement crib or store credit. |
