How to Find Out If My Simplicity Crib Is Recalled

Simplicity was a manufacturer of household and juvenile products including baby cribs, bassinets and baby-care supplies. The company is no longer in business and the organization's cribs are currently in a recall status, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall is due to the deaths of at least 13 children from suffocation or strangulation. If you own a Simplicity crib, it is possible to see if the item is on the CPSC's recall list by checking the crib's model and serial number against the recall list.
