Crib Recall

After the deaths of a 6-month old and a
9-month old child, Simplicity has
announced the recall of about 1 million
cribs sold under its name or with Graco
branding.
A news release from the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission said that the
drop-side can detach, leaving a gap that
can trap and suffocate infants.
In the deaths, the side panel was
installed upside down.
CPSC said it knew of seven other
entrapments and 55 other incidents related
to the problem. It is investigating the
death of a 1-year-old with newer hardware
in which the side was also put in upside
down.
The agency warned parents to make sure
cribs were assembled correctly. The
slightly rounded rail with a decorative
groove should be at the top. CPSC has
pictures on its Web site to help show the
proper installation.
If the drop-side is installed upside down
or not securely attached, consumers should
stop using the crib immediately, a news
release said.
Simplicity models in the recall are:
# Aspen 3 in 1
# Aspen 4 in 1
# Nursery-in-a-Box
# Crib N Changer Combo
# Chelsea and Pooh 4 in 1
Cribs sold with a Graco logo are:
# Aspen 3 in 1
# Ultra 3 in 1
# Ultra 4 in 1
# Ultra 5 in 1
# Whitney and the Trio
Model numbers on the recalled cribs are
4600, 4605, 4705, 5000, 8000, 8324, 8800,
8740, 8910, 8994, 8050, 8750, 8760 and
8996.
The cribs were sold in department stores,
children's stores and mass merchandisers
nationwide from January 1998 through May
2007 for between $100 and $300.
Consumers who have a crib with older style
hardware can receive a free repair by
immediately contacting Simplicity
toll-free at 888-593-9274 between 8:30
a.m. and 10 p.m. EDT Monday through
Thursday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT on
Friday and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET on
Saturday.

Yup, that would incredibly figure, we have
the one that is featured on the simplicity
picture.  Thank
you B! You always have the best info.
I wonder why the company hasn't sent out
anything to us? 
Pricks!
Dorks is not what I said, but it will do.
I said a word that rhymed with sticks and
starts with a P

well, at least it looks like an easy fix.
could you just go and give the drop down
side a good rattle and push and pull and
see if it's secure?

I found this and it gives a good picture
to see whether it is put together
correctly or not.

i saw this on myspace. we have a graco
crib but , its not being used right now,
the crib matress is on josephs toddler bed
and jordynne just sleeps in the playpen in
our room at the moment. I cant remember
what kind of graco crib it is its some
sorta 3 in 1 or 4 in 1. it converts to a
toddler bed in the later years iknow that
much but i got it when i had joseph. I
guess we wont be using that just to be on
the safe side but i think i lost all the
screws moving anyways.

my older sister, Dalton's mom had one. The
side of the crib had been broken for a
while they just set it up to where it was
against their bed and he couldn't get out.
We went to wal-mart today and they made us
wait and wait because they didn't know if
it was on recall. My sister gave them hell
in front of about 5 other people. They
refunded her money and gave her an $85
gift card.
