Simplicity Drop Side Cribs Recalled by Retailers Due to Risk of Death from Suffocation

Hazard

The crib's plastic hardware can break or deform, causing the drop side to detach. When the drop side detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped which can lead to suffocation.
