Simmons recalls specific drop-side cribs due to risk of infant entrapment, suffocation, or falls from malfunctioning drop sides. Consumers must stop using and get a free repair kit.
The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Simmons is recalling certain drop-side cribs because their sides can detach or malfunction, creating spaces where babies can get stuck or fall. This poses a serious risk of injury or death if the crib is used without repair.
The drop sides can detach or become misaligned, creating gaps where babies can get stuck, leading to suffocation or strangulation. Children can also fall out of the crib if the drop side fails. These issues can happen due to improper assembly or normal wear and tear.
Parents or caregivers of infants and toddlers who own the recalled Simmons drop-side cribs. Children under 2 years old are at highest risk due to their size and mobility.
Check for the model numbers listed on Simmons' website (www.cribrecallcenter.com) or printed on a permanent label on the headboard of the crib. The specific model numbers include 011641, 011671, and other numbers listed in the recall.
Immediately stop using the recalled cribs as they pose a risk of entrapment, suffocation, or falls.
Reach out to Simmons to request a free repair kit that will secure the drop side.
Use a bassinet, play yard, or toddler bed for the child until the repair is completed.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Simmons to request a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. Repair kits will be available in the next few weeks. In the meantime, find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age.
