recall of cribs

september 21 2007

About 1 Million Simplicity Cribs are recalled in the USA.
What an amazing amount!

2 children died because the dropside was installed upside down.
Another 7 entrapments are known and another 55 other incidents.

1 death of a child is under investigation.

I have never used cribs with a dropside.
There are not many sold here in the country, if any.

We call them hospitalcribs and that says it all.

Everything that moves is a danger for children.
It sounds strange, but it is.
They're clever, even at an early age.

My feelings go out to the parents.
The manifacturer says that these are self installed cribs, and that parents themselves have installed the dropdown part incorrectly.

What an ectra burden for the parents who grief the death of their child.
