Albee Baby Prescott cribs (re-labeled Simplicity) recalled due to risk of infant entrapment, suffocation and falls from mattress frame detachment. Consumers must stop using and get a replacement.
These cribs are re-labeled fixed-sided Simplicity cribs that contain tubular metal mattress-support frames recalled in April 2010. The mattress support frames can bend or detach, causing part of the mattress to drop, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib.
