Re-activateIn the third major recall of children's sleeping equipment made by Simplicity in a year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission today announced a recall of 600,000 cribs because they pose an entrapment and suffocation hazard. A year ago, as we wrote here, Simplicity recalled one million cribs, including some branded Graco, after the deaths of two infants. And just last month, 900,000 bassinets branded Simplicity, Graco and Disney, were recalled after the strangulation deaths of two infants.
Because Simplicity has gone out of business, the CPSC is working with a number of retailers to get the cribs recalled. So far the retailers include AAFES, Babies 'R' Us, Burlington Coat Factory/ Baby Depot, K's Merchandise, Meijer, Nebraska Furniture Mart, ShopKo, Target and Wal-Mart. Scott Wolfson, a CPSC spokesman, said he expects the list of retailers to grow.
