US Consumer Product Safety Commission urges parents to check for recalled products


Recalled crib made by Simplicity

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is urging parents to check their homes for any recalled products, and especially be on the look out for products manufactured by Simplicity, Inc. The juvenile product manufacturer has several products that have been recalled in recent years.

According to the CPSC website:

"SFCA Inc., the Reading, Pa.-based company that purchased the assets of juvenile product manufacturer Simplicity Inc. after foreclosure, appears to no longer be conducting day to day operations. SFCA Inc. is no longer answering phone calls, responding to e-mails from consumers, or providing repair kits to fix hundreds of thousands of defective cribs.

At least 13 children have tragically died in recalled Simplicity cribs and bassinets. CPSC is urging all parents, caregivers, online sellers and purchasers, daycare providers, and thrift store owners to immediately check if they have one of the following Simplicity-made or Simplicity-branded products and dispose of those units where there is no longer a remedy."
