Product Recall: Simplicity Close Sleeper, Bedside Sleeper
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has once again recalled a bedside crib -- the Simplicity Close-Sleeper/Bedside Sleeper - after two more infant deaths have drawn attention to the dangerous and deadly product. Last August the product was recalled after two other infant deaths had been reported. Another two infants have been left with serious injuries from the close sleeper.
Some of the infants have been entrapped in a metal bar on the bassinet, while others have suffocated in the folds of the crib's fabric.
The company who made the sleeper, SFCA, Inc., has not been cooperative with either recall and may no longer exist. The extremely dangerous infant cribs were sold nationwide at a variety of stores, including Amazon.com, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Big Lots, WalMart, Target, Kohls, JC Penney, Kmart, and Toys R Us. Those who are using the defective product should immediately stop use and return it to the store where it was purchased.
Please fill out the form and we will be in touch with you shortly.
