Re-activateLast week the troubled Simplicity brand was hit with another recall--this time of 200,000 portable play yards with a rain forest motif that bear the Fisher-Price logo.
The recall, announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, comes after the agency received 1,350 reports of one or more rails collapsing. There have been numerous reports of children receiving bumps and bruises when the side rail collapsed and five more serious injuries including a broken nose, a broken wrist, a mild concussion, a cut to the hand that required stitches, and a chipped tooth.
Like Simplicity's other recent recalls of cribs and bassinets, this one is problematic because Simplicity has gone out of business and SFCA Inc., the holding company that purchased the assets, has not been responsive to consumer complaints. That is why Fisher-Price initiated the recall rather than Simplicity.
The recalled play yards were sold with a bassinet, changing table and mobile. The products have rain forest patterned fabric and artwork and bear the Fisher-Price logo. The Simplicity Inc. model numbers are 5310 RNF, 5310RNFC and 5310RNFW. The model number is located on a sticker on one of the legs underneath the play yard.
