Today the CPSC has announced a recall of around 1 million Simplicity cribs and also some that used the Graco logo.

Sadly the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of two infant deaths in Simplicity cribs which have the older style hardware, this involves the drop-side which can detach from the crib and then can lead to the entrapment and suffocation of infants.

The recalled Simplicity crib models include:
Chelsea and Pooh 4 in 1
Crib N Changer Combo
Nursery-in-a-Box
Aspen 4 in 1
Aspen 3 in 1

Simplicity cribs that used the Graco logo are also included in the crib recall:
Whitney and the Trio
Ultra 5 in 1
Ultra 4 in1
Ultra 3 in 1
Aspen 3 in 1
