Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name of Product: &lt;/b&gt;Simplicity Brand Drop Side Cribs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Units: &lt;/b&gt;About 600,000&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Importer/Distributor: &lt;/b&gt;Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa. (this company is no longer in business) 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hazard: &lt;/b&gt;Due to sizing problems with the crib’s hardware, the drop side can come off the tracks. When the drop side detaches or partially detaches, it creates a hazardous gap, which can lead to infant entrapment and suffocation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Incidents/Injuries: &lt;/b&gt;SFCA and CPSC are aware of nine incidents in which the drop side detached on cribs that are part of this recall. There have been no injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description: &lt;/b&gt;This recall of Simplicity drop side cribs involves models that used a different style of hardware from those cribs &lt;a class="" href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07307.html" target="_blank"&gt;recalled&lt;/a&gt; in September 2007. The recalled model numbers include: 8620, 8745, 8748, 8755, 8756, 8778, 8810, and 8994. The recalled drop side cribs have a date code, which can be found on a label on the headboard under the mattress support, which ends in 05DH, 05GB, 06DH, 06GB, 07DH or 07GB (examples: 1806 DH or 0507 GB). The recalled model names include: Aspen and Crib N Changer Combo, Gabrielle, Camille, Providence and Shenandoah. Only the brand name “Simplicity” can be seen on the label on the headboard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sold by: &lt;/b&gt;Department stores, children’s stores and mass merchandisers nationwide from January 2005 through August 2008 for between $150 and $300.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Manufactured in: &lt;/b&gt;China&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remedy: &lt;/b&gt;Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers should return the recalled crib to the place of purchase for a refund or store credit. SFCA Inc., of Reading, Pa. is working with retailers to carry out this recall program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CPSC learned that on August 21, 2008, a 6 ½-month-old girl from Shawnee, Kan. was strangled to death when she became entrapped between the bassinet’s metal bars. This is the second strangulation death CPSC has learned of involving the co-sleeper bassinets. On September 29, 2007, a 4-month-old girl from Noel, Mo. became entrapped in the metal bars of the bassinet and died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets contain metal bars that are covered by an adjustable fabric flap which is attached by velcro. The fabric is folded down when the bassinet is converted into a bed-side co-sleeping position. If the velcro is not properly re-secured when the flap is adjusted, an infant can slip through the opening and become entrapped in the metal bars and suffocate. This warning does not cover bassinets produced in recent months that have fabric permanently attached over the lower bar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to the serious hazard these bassinets pose to babies, CPSC urges all consumers to share this safety warning with day care centers, consignment stores, family and friends to ensure that no child is placed to sleep in a Simplicity convertible bassinet covered by this warning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON, D.C. – As parents prepare for a new baby with love and care, CPSC urges keeping safety in the mix. One area of great concern for the CPSC is pillow use in cribs. The CPSC is urging all parents to forego putting any kind of pillows in the crib due to the high risk of suffocation and entrapment. The CPSC is aware of at least 47 infant deaths between January 2006 and May 2008 associated with pillow use in the sleeping environment. In the 16 years between January 1992 and May 2008, pillows and cushions have been associated with 531 infant deaths.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Parents should be especially vigilant when preparing for a new baby,” said Acting Chairman Nancy Nord. “Babies represent our most precious and vulnerable population.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 align="center"&gt;Nursery Safety&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To reduce the risk of SIDS and suffocation, place baby to sleep on his or her back in a crib that meets current safety standards. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To prevent suffocation never use a pillow as a mattress for baby to sleep on or to prop baby’s head or neck. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Infants can strangle to death if their bodies pass through gaps between loose components, broken slats and other parts of the crib and their head and neck become entrapped in the space. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not use old, broken or modified cribs. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Regularly tighten hardware to keep sides firm. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Infants can suffocate in spaces between the sides of the crib and an ill fitting mattress; never allow a gap larger than two finger widths at any point between the sides of the crib and the mattress. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Never place a crib near a window with blind or curtain cords; infants can strangle on the cords. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 align="center"&gt;Safety Around the House&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Properly set up play yards according to manufacturers’ directions. Only use the mattress provided with the play yard. Do not add extra mattresses, pillows or cushions to the play yard, which can cause a suffocation hazard for infants. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Look for a toy chest that has a support that will hold the hinged lid open in any position in which it is placed or buy one with a detached lid or doors. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Small Parts – For children younger than age three, avoid toys with small parts, which can cause choking. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Magnets – For children younger than age eight, avoid building sets with small magnets. If magnets or pieces with magnets are swallowed, serious injuries and/or death can occur. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills and interest level of the intended child. Look for sturdy construction, such as tightly-secured eyes, noses and other potential small parts. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For all children younger than age eight, avoid toys that have sharp edges and points. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verify that furniture is stable on its own. For added security, anchor to the floor or attach to a wall. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use outlet covers and outlet plates to help prevent electrocution. 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CPSC encourages parents to routinely check toys and nursery products against CPSC recall lists and remove recalled products from your home.

Yesterday, CPSC warned parents, caregivers and consumers to immediately stop using convertible &amp;quot;close-sleeper/bedside sleeper&amp;quot; bassinets manufactured by Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa., due to a serious safety risk. Today, CPSC is announcing that the following retailers have voluntarily agreed to recall the product and provide a refund or store credit to consumers who return the product to the store where purchased:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CPSC learned that on August 21, 2008, a 6 ½-month-old girl from Shawnee, Kan. was strangled to death when she became entrapped between the bassinet’s metal bars. This is the second strangulation death CPSC has learned of in the co-sleeper bassinets. On September 29, 2007, a 4-month-old girl from Noel, Mo. became entrapped in the metal bars of the bassinet and died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets contain metal bars that are covered by an adjustable fabric flap which is attached by velcro. The fabric is folded down when the bassinet is converted into a bed-side co-sleeping position. If the velcro is not properly re-secured when the flap is adjusted, an infant can slip through the opening and become entrapped in the metal bars and suffocate. This warning does not cover bassinets produced in recent months that have fabric permanently attached over the lower bar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to the serious hazard these bassinets pose to babies, CPSC urges all consumers to share this safety warning with day care centers, consignment stores, family and friends to ensure that no child is placed to sleep in a Simplicity convertible bassinet covered by this warning.&lt;/p&gt;
