Filed under: Alerts & Recalls
Back in August, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible "close-sleeper/bedside sleeper" bassinets.

Yesterday, the Commission issued more information on the recalled bassinets,
Since the original warning, the CPSC has become aware that some of the bassinets in question include the Graco logo and a Winnie the Pooh motif. Consumers are urged to check their models to be sure they are not included in the list of recalled Simplicity bassinets.
Although SFCA Inc., the company which purchased all of Simplicity, Inc.'s assets at public auction in April, 2008, refuses to officially recall them, many retailers have voluntarily removed the bassinets from their shelves. Those retailers are providing refunds or store credits to customers who return their bassinet to the store where purchased. A list of those retailers can be found here.

Kona Gallagher said...I just wanted to thank you for this and your original post on this subject. We received one of these as a baby shower gift and it's sitting in the nursery right now. Luckily the baby hasn't been born yet, so we haven't used it.
The reason we know about the safety issues is because of you and I want you to know that we really appreciate it.
