Recalled: Simplicity cribs
WEDNESDAY, June 6 (BabyCenter News) — Simplicity has announced a recall of about 40,000 cribs in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The Nursery-in-a-Box cribs came with faulty assembly instructions on how to attach the crib's drop side. If the drop side is installed incorrectly, it can disengage from the crib, posing fall and entrapment hazards for your child. The metal locking pins on the drop side can also pop off, presenting a choking hazard.
CPSC is aware of an incident in which the crib's drop side fell from its upright position and the metal locking pins were dislodged when the drop side was installed upside down. Simplicity, the cribs' manufacturer, received a report of incorrect instructions being packaged with the crib.
The recalled cribs are part of the Nursery-in-a-Box furniture set, which also includes a changing table and clothing organizer. The cribs are cherry, white or natural in color. Only model numbers 8910 and 8050 with serial numbers 3005 HY through 0806 HY are included in this recall. The model and serial numbers are printed on an envelope permanently attached to the mattress support. The name "Simplicity" and the model and serial numbers are also printed on a label on the bottom rail of the headboard.
The cribs were sold at department stores and children's product stores from August 2005 through May 2007 for about $200. They were made in China.
