Deaths prompt crib study.(SAFETY ALERTS)(Simplicity of Reading)
THE CONSUMER PRODUCT Safety Commission has recalled almost 1.6 million drop-side cribs from Delta Enterprise of New York after the deaths of two infants. The news comes after previous recalls of a total of 1.6 million drop-side cribs made by Simplicity of Reading. Pa., and has prompted the CPSC to broadly review crib safety. Two children died in Simplicity cribs, the agency said.
Problems with the Delta cribs involve missing or nonfunctioning safety pegs for the side rail and malfunctioning spring pegs.
