Simplicity Drop Side Cribs Recalled by Retailers Due to Risk of Death from Suffocation
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
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.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers should immediately return the crib to the place of purchase for a refund, replacement or store credit.
