WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Simplicity brand drop side cribs due to an entrapment hazard.
About 600,000 of the cribs, imported from China by Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa., were sold at various national retail outlets from January 2005 through August 2008 for between $150 and $300, the Commission said in a statement last Wednesday.
The recall includes cribs with model numbers 8620, 8745, 8748, 8756, 8778, 8810 and 8994. The various models involved include the Aspen, Crib N Changer Combo, Gabrielle, Camille, Providence and Shenandoah.
Simplicity Inc. has received nine reports in which the drops sides on the cribs derailed from their tracks, due to a problem of incompatible hardware, the Commission said.
Consumers were advised to stop using the recalled cribs and find new sleeping arrangements for their infants. Consumers should return the cribs for refunds or store credit, the Commission said.
