SFCA, INC. COOPERATING WITH CPSC AND RETAILERS ON VOLUNTARY RECALL OF SELECT SIMPLICITY, INC. DROP SIDE CRIBS

SFCA, Inc in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and retailers announce the voluntary recall of select Simplicity, Inc. brand drop-side cribs.  SFCA, Inc. is working with the CPSC and retailers to help ensure that the cribs manufactured by Simplicity, Inc, which ceased operations in March 2008, are removed from the marketplace as effectively and rapidly as possible.  The voluntary recall does not affect cribs manufactured by SFCA, Inc.

The list of Simplicity, Inc. drop side cribs involved in the recall can be found here.  Due to sizing problems with the crib’s hardware, the drop side can come off the tracks and create a potentially hazardous gap.  There have been no injuries associated with this product.

The CPSC has urged those who own these products to immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby.  Consumers can return the recalled cribs to the place of purchase for a refund or store credit.   

SFCA, Inc.’s number one concern has and always will be the safety of children and we are committed to assisting the CPSC and retailers in this voluntary recall.

Consumers can contact the CPSC Recall Hotline at (800) 638-2772 or the SFCA, Inc. customer service number at 1-800-858-8323 (Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm).  Additional information can also be found at www.simplicity-sfca.com or the website of the retailer where they purchased the affected product.
