4. Simplicity Drop Side Cribs Recalled by Retailers Due to Risk of Death from Suffocation.
Units: About 400,000
Importer/Distributor: Simplicity Inc. and SFCA Inc. of Reading, Pa. (The firms appear to no longer conduct day to day operations.)
Hazard: The crib's plastic hardware can break or deform, causing the drop side to detach. When the drop side detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped which can lead to suffocation.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC is aware of one death involving an 8-month-old child from Houston, Texas who became entrapped and suffocated between the drop side and the crib mattress when a plastic connector on the drop side broke. The child's death was previously reported by CPSC. CPSC also is aware of an additional 25 incidents involving the drop side detaching from the crib. In six of these incidents, the drop side detached because the plastic flexible tab deformed or broke. In four of the drop side detachment incidents, other plastic parts, including connectors or tracks, deformed or broke. In two of the incidents, two children became entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress. There were no reported injuries.
Description: This recall involves all drop side cribs with a different or "newer" style of plastic hardware from those cribs recalled in September 2007. This newer style of Simplicity hardware can be identified by a flexible plastic tab at the top of the lower tracks. The recalled model numbers include but may not be limited to: 8050, 8325, 8620, 8745, 8748, 8755, 8756, 8765, 8778, 8810, and 8994, 8995, 8996.
Sold at: Department stores, children's stores, and mass merchandisers nationwide from January 2005 through June 2009 for between $150 and $300.
Manufactured in: China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternative, safe sleeping environment for their baby. Consumers should immediately return the crib to the place of purchase for a refund, replacement or store credit.

Graco Nautilus Incorrect National Safety Mark Label
Model and Model Numbers Affected: Nautilus 8J00BRVCA, 8J00GLXCA, 8J00MTXCA, 8J00RSECA
Dates of Manufacture: October 30, 2008 to December 26, 2008 inclusive
Number of Units: 11,439
Issue:
Elfe Juvenile Products and Transport Canada wish to inform the public of an error on the National Safety Mark label affixed to the side of the Nautilus child/booster seat. The National Safety Mark (NSM) is the round label with a maple leaf and the designated manufacturer/importer identifier number in the centre. This label also indicates the specific Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard(s) (CMVSS) with which the children's restraint system complies. The NSM that has been affixed to the Nautilus child/booster indicates that the seat complies only with the booster cushion standard (CMVSS 213.2), whereas the NSM should state compliance with both the booster cushion standard and the child seat standards (CMVSS 213, 213.2). The corrected NSM will reflect the full certification status of the product and allow consumers to use the product as intended by the manufacturer, as indicated in the instruction manual and other labeling affixed to the child/booster seat.
Safety Risk: The incorrect NSM will not affect the safety of the child/booster seat.

Model and Model Numbers Affected: Cosco Scenera 22123CCAD
Dates of Manufacture: December 23, 2008 to January 06, 2009 inclusive
Number of Units: 2,301
Issue: Dorel Distribution Canada and Transport Canada wish to inform the public of an error on an English language label affixed to the side of the Scenera infant/child seat. This English language label incorrectly identifies and understates the weight ranges for the rear-facing usage mode. The correct weight range is as stipulated on the French language label, as well as in the bilingual instruction manual.
Safety Risk: Clarifying the correct weight range for the rear-facing usage mode on the English language label will encourage proper usage of the restraint system.

Models and Model Numbers Affected:
Cosco Adventurer - 2209CBNG, Cosco Ventura DX - 2249CFLG

Dates of Manufacture: November 1, 2003 - December 31, 2005 inclusive
Number of Units: 79, 254
Issue: When in the forward-facing mode, the harness system that holds the child into the child seat can loosen. The resulting slack in the harness system reduces the effectiveness of the child seat in the event of a motor vehicle collision and increases the head excursion of the child.
Safety Risk: Should the harness system loosen, the child would not be fully protected in the event of a motor vehicle collision. The prescribed limit on the amount of forward head excursion that can be experienced by the crash test dummy during dynamic testing helps to reduce the risk of injury that a child occupant may incur as a result of contact with vehicle interior surfaces during a motor vehicle collision. The loosening of the harness system and subsequent excessive movement of the child's body and head could lead to serious injury.
