Cribs Recalled After Infant Death

More than 400,000 drop-side cribs made by Simplicity were recalled July 2 after an 8-month-old child in Houston suffocated. The Chinese-made cribs had a detachable side that easily broke, creating a gap between the side of the crib and the mattress where a child could potentially become trapped and suffocate. It wasn't Simplicity's first snafu with the cribs. In September 2008, the company recalled 600,000 cribs of the same type; in 2007 a million older-model cribs were recalled after two children became trapped and suffocated. In an interview on The Early Show, Consumer Product Safety Commission chairman Inez Tenenbaum said, "We have recalled 2 million of these in the past few years because the company would change the hardware, but it never worked."

嬰兒床在出現幼兒死亡之后被召回

超過40萬張由Simplicity公司生產的下拉式圍欄嬰兒床在6月2號一位在休斯頓的幼兒窒息而死后被召回。這種中國制造的嬰兒床有一可拆開的邊非常容易損壞，會在車的邊緣和床墊之間產生縫隙，而這縫隙可能卡住孩子并有窒息的危險。這并不是Simplicity第一次因為嬰兒床而被推上風口浪尖了。早在2008年的9月公司召回了60萬張同款嬰兒床；而2007年有100張老款嬰兒床因為兩個兒童被卡住并窒息而宣布召回。在訪談節目《The Early Show》中，消費者產品安全委員會主席Inez Tenenbaum說道：“我們在過去的幾年因為公司希望會對床的硬件進行更換已經召回了200萬張嬰兒床，但卻從沒起到什么作用。”
