Recalls

Parents/Guardians should check this page often for current recalls on children's products. Rest assured any recalls listed below will have a link to the CPSC website regarding any such recalls.

Also please make special thoughts before purchasing used toys, gear, and furniture for your child/ren. I recently made a purchase of a used crib & dresser set only to find out that my crib (listed below) was included in such a recall. Luckily, I hadn't used the crib and I was able to return the crib to a local retailer for a refund - however this may not always be the case.

Renewed Recall - Simplicity Bassinets
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the CPSC has asked us to help publicize the renewed recall of Simplicity bassinets. The original recall came out in August of 2008. The bassinets included are "Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 Convertible "Close Sleeper" Models.

The Simplicity 3-in1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets, including bassinets with the Graco logo, and "Winnie the Pooh motif licensed by Disney Consumer Products, contain metal bars that are covered by an adjustable fabric flap. This fabric flap is secured by Velcro© which are intended to be partially removed when the bassinet is converted into the bedside/close-sleeper mode. If the Velcro fasteners are not properly re-secured when the fabric flap is adjusted, or if the consumer entirely removes the fabric flap exposing the metal bars, an infant can slip through the opening between the lower metal bar and the mattress support and become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. Consumers are urged to check their bassinets to ensure they are not using on the recalled Simplicity bassinets.
