WASHINGTON — Simplicity Inc., a supplier of baby furniture to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other big retailers, is recalling about 1 million Chinese-made baby cribs which have been linked to at least two infant deaths, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
The drop-side can detach from the crib, which can create a dangerous gap that leads to an infant being trapped and suffocated, the safety agency said in a statement. It urged parents to check all Simplicity-made cribs to ensure the drop-side is installed correctly.
The cribs, priced between $100 and $300, were sold by U.S. retailers and chains including Target Corp. (TGT), Big Lots Inc (BIG) and family-owned Meijer Inc. Full Story - Babybug Magazine - Yukon Cigarettes - 1-800 CONTACTS
