SUBJECT: HAZARDOUS RECALL - The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls various models of Drop-Side Baby Cribs manufactured by Simplicity Inc.

DISTRIBUTION: WORLDWIDE

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling numerous styles of Simplicity Brand Drop Side Cribs manufactured by Simplicity Inc. due to an entrapment and suffocation safety risk.   

Name of Product: Simplicity Brand Drop Side Cribs   Units: About 600,000

Importer/Distributor: Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa. (this company is no longer in business)

Manufactured in: China

Hazard: Due to sizing problems with the crib’s hardware, the drop side can come off the tracks. When the drop side detaches or partially detaches, it creates a hazardous gap, which can lead to infant entrapment and suffocation.

AAFES sold the following models, however only models with the MFG codes listed below are subject to the recall. The model numbers and MFG codes can be found on the headboard or footboard of the cribs.
