Simplicity Recalls 1 Million Cribs
Filed in archive Recall News by Melissa Petri on September 22, 2007

Two infant deaths, seven entrapments and 55 incidents were reported where the drop-side can detach from the crib, resulting to entrapment and suffocation.
The drop-side failures result from both the hardware and crib design, which allow consumers to unintentionally install the drop-side upside down. This, in turn, can weaken the hardware and cause the drop-side to detach from the crib. When the drop-side detaches, it creates a gap in which infants can become entrapped.
Recalled crib models include:
1. Aspen 3-in-1
2. Nursery-in-a-box
3. Lancaster convertible crib
4. Crib Drop Side
Consumers who have a crib with older style hardware can receive a free repair by immediately contacting Simplicity toll-free at (888) 593-9274 between 8:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET on Friday, and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, or by visiting the firm's Web site at www.simplicityforchildren.com
A video clip is also provided by CPSC to inform consumers about the recall.
