CPSC announces RECALL of Simplicity and Graco cribs – DANGER for babies

This week the government has recalled thousands of Simplicity and Graco cribs issuing a warning that babies could suffocate or strangle in them. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPCS) said the Simplicity recall was linked to at least one death and involved thousands of cribs, possibly hundreds of thousands, though many had previously been recalled for other defects.

217,000 Graco dropside cribs made by LaJobi were also being recalled.

CPSC announces recall of 635K cribs.

NATIONAL - In a story appearing on at least 177 news websites, the AP (1/19) reported, "A Barbados-based company on Tuesday recalled about 635,000 cribs sold by Kmart, Sears, Wal-Mart and other stores after the death of a 6-month-old boy and multiple reports of injuries. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of 20 models of Dorel Asia cribs with both drop sides and fixed front rails. Some of the Chinese- and Vietnamese-made cribs were recalled because their drop sides can detach, creating a space where a child can be trapped and suffocate or strangle."

2.1 MILLION STORK CRAFT CRIBS – Recalled – Sold by BJ’s, Sears, WalMart Stores, K-Mart, Target, J C Penney, and Costco Wholesale Warehouse

NATIONWIDE – Safety hazard! The cribs’ drop-side plastic hardware can break, deform, or parts can become missing. In addition, the drop-side can be installed upside-down, which can result in broken or disengaged plastic parts. All of these problems can cause the drop-side to detach in one or more corners. When the drop-side detaches, it creates space between the drop-side and the crib mattress. The bodies of infants and toddlers can become entrapped in the space which can lead to suffocation. Complete detachment of drop-sides can lead to falls from the crib.

The cribs, which were manufactured and distributed between January 1993 and October 2009, were sold at major retailers including BJ's Wholesale Club, Sears and Wal-Mart stores and online through Target and Costco. They sold for between $100 and $400, and were made in Canada, China and Indonesia.

CPSC urges parents and caregivers to immediately stop using the recalled cribs, wait for the free repair kit, and do not attempt to fix the cribs without the kit. They should find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.
