Death of Infant Prompts Simplicity Crib Recall

Please click here for a free evaluation of your case

Simplicity Inc., and SFCA Inc., of Reading, PA, are recalling about 400,000 Simplicity Drop Side Cribs following reports of an 8-month old child who became entrapped and suffocated between the drop side and the crib mattress when a plastic connector on the drop side broke.

The specific hazard involves the crib's plastic hardware, which can break or deform, causing the drop side to detach. When the drop side detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped which can lead to suffocation.

The child's death has been previously reported by the CPSC. CPSC also is aware of an additional 25 incidents involving the drop side detaching from the crib. In 6 of these incidents, the drop side detached because the plastic flexible tab deformed or broke. In 4 of the drop side detachment incidents, other plastic parts, including connectors or tracks, deformed or broke. In 2 of the incidents, 2 children became entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress.

This recall involves all drop side cribs with a different or “newer” style of plastic hardware from those cribs recalled in September 2007. This newer style of Simplicity hardware can be identified by a flexible plastic tab at the top of the lower tracks. The recalled model numbers include but may not be limited to: 8050, 8325, 8620, 8745, 8748, 8755, 8756, 8765, 8778, 8810, and 8994, 8995, 8996.
