Simplicity Brand Drop Side Cribs

Due to sizing problems with the crib's hardware, the drop side can come off the tracks. When the drop side detaches or partially detaches, it creates a hazardous gap, which can lead to infant entrapment and suffocation.

  • Suffocation
  • Entrapment
  • About 600,000 units
  • 9 reports

Simplicity Drop-side Cribs

The drop-side can detach from the crib, which can create a dangerous gap and lead to the entrapment and suffocation of infants. The drop-side failures result from both the hardware and crib design, which allow consumers to unintentionally install the drop-side upside down. This, in turn, can weaken the hardware and cause the drop-side to detach from the crib.

  • Suffocation
  • Entrapment
  • About 1 million units
  • 55 reports, 2 deaths

Simplicity Nursery-in-a-Box Cribs

Additionally, the metal locking pins on the drop side can pop off, presenting a choking hazard.

  • Fall
  • Choking
  • About 40,000 units
