1 Million Cribs Recalled After 2 Deaths  About 1 million
Simplicity cribs were recalled yesterday due to several deaths
related to a defect which can cause children to become trapped
and suffocate.  Apparently, the drop-side can detach from the
crib, which can create a dangerous gap and lead to entrapment
and suffocation.   The cribs were sold from 1998 to May 2007.
According to the New York Times, some of the older recalled
cribs feature Winne-the-Pooh, but Disney no longer licenses its
characters with Simplicity. The cribs were made in China and
sold at Target and Walmart among other retailers.  This isn’t
the first recall for Simplicity, they’ve been subject to 4
recalls since 2005, according to the NYT.  “Simplicity builds
safe products, and we work every day to make our products better
and better,” Mr. Waldman,president for Simplicity said. The
company is offering repair kits, but would not tell the NYT if
refunds would be provided to customers who requested them.
