Simmons drop-side cribs
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Simmons is recalling Easy Side Drop-side cribs because the drop sides can malfunction, detach, or fail, creating spaces where infants or toddlers can become wedged, entrapped, or strangled. These failures can occur due to incorrect assembly, age-related wear and tear, or defective parts. Children may also fall out of the affected cribs as a result of drop-side failure.
According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Simmons to request a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side, which will be available within a few weeks. Until the repair kit arrives, consumers should place the child in an alternate safe sleep environment such as a bassinet, play yard, or toddler bed appropriate for the child's age. The specific model numbers affected in this recall are listed on Simmons' website at www.cribrecallcenter.com, and model numbers are also printed on permanent labels on the crib headboard.

The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Simmons to request a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. Repair kits will be available in the next few weeks. In the meantime, find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age.
