Another Chinese-made product recall:  1 million cribs recalled due to suffocation hazard  
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

On Friday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commision called for the recall of about 1 million Simplicity Inc. cribs after two infants - 6 months old and 9 months old - died.  The cribs were manufactured in China and sold for over nine years:  from January 1998 through May 2007.  The crib was designed with a drop side that ws installed upside down, causing the side to weaken and risk detachment.  Infants could get trapped in that gap, the CPSC says.

Multiple crib models were affected, and the cribs have been sold in many places, including Wal-Mart (surprise, surprise).  If your crib was made by Simplicity, the recall notice and safety instructions are here.  This recall comes just a little over a month since Mattel recalled 18 million toys that were manufactured in China.
