1 million Graco, Simplicity cribs recalled in U.S.
Deaths of at least three babies linked to furniture made in China
MSNBC News Services
Updated: 18 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - About 1 million Simplicity and Graco cribs are being recalled after three children became entrapped in their cribs and died of suffocation, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
Two infants, a 6-month-old and a 9-month-old, died in the recalled cribs, which were sold through May 2007. A 1-year-old child died in a newer model of the cribs, which has not been recalled but is being investigated by the safety agency, CPSC officials said.
CPSC spokesman Ed Kang would not comment on when or where the children died. Simplicity spokesman Joe Householder said the company will not release further details about the deaths out of respect for the families.
In all three deaths, the consumer had installed the drop-rail side of the crib upside down, the CPSC said. This creates a gap in the crib that children can slide into and suffocate.
Seven other infants have been entrapped in the cribs, according to the CPSC. There have been 55 reports of the cribs' drop sides detaching or the hardware failing to hold the side to the crib.
Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa., is listed as manufacturer of all the cribs, which were made in China. The recalled cribs were sold nationwide, under the Simplicity or Graco brands, from January 1998 through May 2007. The recall involves multiple models and models numbers.
None of the cribs that Simplicity currently supplies to stores is included in the recall, the company said in a statement.
But CPSC is telling consumers who have the newer versions not covered by the recall to check to make sure the drop side is installed right side up and securely attached.
Consumers who have a Simplicity-made crib with older style hardware can receive a free repair by calling the company or visiting its Web site. For more information, consumers can contact Simplicity at 888-593-9274.
The recalled Simplicity crib models include:
Aspen 3 in 1
Aspen 4 in 1
Nursery-in-a-Box
Crib N Changer Combo
Chelsea
Pooh 4 in 1.
The recall also involves the following Simplicity-made cribs that were sold with the Graco logo:
Ultra 3 in 1
Ultra 4 in 1
Ultra 5 in 1
Whitney

Houston Family Sues Over Crib Death

feel like we followed the instructions to the best of our ability," said Arceneaux.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20921175/
HOUSTON - A Houston-area couple sued a crib-maker after their daughter died while sleeping in one of their products, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday. "She was just precious, my princess," said Tami Arceneaux.
Arceneaux never imagined putting her 7-month-old daughter, Royale, to bed in her Simplicity crib would put her little life in danger, but now the family is filing a lawsuit against the company for her death in February.
Her lawyer said the crib did not come with instructions. The family wrote Simplicity and had a manual mailed, but when it arrived, the lawyer said there was a major problem.
"There's no mention anywhere on this page telling consumers installing the drop rail that there is a top and bottom," attorney Mark Weycer said.
"I feel like we followed the instructions to the best of our ability," said Arceneaux.
Without knowing it, the Arceneauxs put the drop rail on upside-down and because of that, they said a hinge broke. That allowed a gap between the mattress and the rail. That gap is where they said Royale suffocated to death with her head against the mattress.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than one million cribs made by Simplicity, also using the Graco logo, because the drop rail can become detached.
"If you are a parent who has this type of crib, check immediately to see if it's one being recalled. If it is, don't put your child in that crib tonight," said Patty Davis of the CPSC.

It amazes me that we (our government) is still allowing imports from China. Toys with lead paint, defective cribs, tainted bogus toothpastes, dog food made with melamine, etc.
What does it take for our government to STOP all imports from China? I started writing to all the companies that make products I purchase and I tell them that I will not buy their product if it is made in China. I'll pay more for Made in the USA.
