Simplicity Cribs
Simplicity full-size cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames are being recalled. This recall includes fixed-side and drop-side cribs. These cribs pose a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment, strangulation, suffocation and fall hazards to infants and toddlers.
The crib's tubular metal mattress-support frame can bend or detach and cause part of the mattress to collapse, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib.
This recall involves all Simplicity cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames, which include but are not limited to the following models:
| Crib Name | Model Number |
|---|---|
| Aspen 4-in-1 | 8755 |
| Chelsea Deluxe 4-in-1 Convertible Sleep System | 8324 |
| Graco 4-in-1 Ultra Sleep System | 4600 |
| Graco Aspen 3-in-1 | 8740 |
| Simplicity Crib and Changer Combo | 8994 |
| Simplicity Ellis Deluxe 4-in-1 Convertible Sleep System | 8676 |
| Simplicity Nursery-in-a-Box Convertible Crib | 8910 |
Some model numbers are followed by letters, indicating the color or finish of the crib. The name "Simplicity Inc." or "Simplicity for Children" appears on a label on the crib's mattress-support frame and/or the crib's end panels. The cribs were manufactured in China.
The recalled cribs were sold at Walmart, Target, Babies R Us and other stores nationwide for between $150 and $300. Consumers should contact the store where the crib was purchased to receive a refund, replacement crib or store credit.
