The Graco company says one of its cribs poses a choking hazard. The company issued the recall for the Simplicity Inc, crib with Graco logo 3-in-1 crib in December. But last month a 19-month-old boy in Oregon died.
Now the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the company that makes the bed are stepping up the search for the dangerous cribs.
The recalled cribs are made of wood and have wooden mattress supports. Only cribs with wooden mattress supports and with model number 8740KCW SC and serial number 2803 SC (made the 28th week of 2003) to 1605 SC (made the 16th week of 2005) are included in this recall. The model and serial number are printed on the envelope attached to the mattress support.
The recalled cribs were sold in department and children's product stores from August 2003 through May 2005 for about $130.
