Graco & Simplicity Crib Recall

Simplicity cribs are once again being recalled after the death of a child. Simplicity cribs are being targeted by the CPSC as a danger.

A Massachusetts toddler suffocated in 2008 after getting stuck between the mattress and the frame. Another 13 incidents have been reported involving the tubular metal framed cribs bending or coming apart.

The cribs recalled include 217,000 Graco drop-side cribs made by LaJobi and fixed-side and drop-side cribs from Simplicity.

Simplicity full-size cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames for both fixed-side and drop-side cribs pose a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment, strangulation, suffocation, and fall hazards to infants and toddlers.

The frame can bend or detach causing the mattress to collapse, putting the child in danger.
The CPSC is urging anyone with one of these cribs to stop using them and find another place for their infant or toddler to sleep.

The safety agency said it does not know how many of these metal-framed cribs were sold. The China-made cribs were sold at chain stores nationwide including Walmart and Target for $150-$300.

Consumers can return these cribs to the store where they were purchased for a refund, credit or replacement crib. For more information please contact 1 877 MESSALAW.
