How to Find Out If My Simplicity Crib Is Recalled
Simplicity was a manufacturer of household and juvenile products including baby cribs, bassinets and baby-care supplies. The company is no longer in business and the organization's cribs are currently in a recall status, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall is due to the deaths of at least 13 children from suffocation or strangulation. If you own a Simplicity crib, it is possible to see if the item is on the CPSC's recall list by checking the crib's model and serial number against the recall list. Does this Spark an idea?
