By Huntingtonnews.net Staff
with information from www.recalls.org
Simplicity full-size cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames are

entrapment, strangulation, suffocation and fall hazards.

part of the mattress to collapse, creating a space into which an infant or
toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib.
This recall involves all Simplicity cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames. A full list of the recalled cribs can be found at www.recalls.org.
Consumers should contact the store where the crib was purchased to receive a refund, replacement crib or store credit. More info at www.recalls.org.
