Albee Baby Recalls C & T International/Sorelle Brand "Prescott" Cribs Due to Entrapment, Suffocation and Fall Hazards

Is my product affected?

Sorelle brand "Prescott" fixed-sided cribs

  • Brand Simplicity Inc. (firm is no longer in business)

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Albee Baby is recalling C & T International/Sorelle brand "Prescott" cribs sold as full-sized, fixed-sided, oak-finish convertible models (either 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 versions). These cribs contain tubular metal mattress-support frames that were previously recalled in April 2010. The frames can bend or detach, causing the mattress to drop and creating gaps where an infant or toddler could roll, become wedged, entrapped, or fall out of the crib.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Albee Baby for a replacement crib, store credit, or refund. C&T International/Albee Baby is attempting to directly contact consumers who purchased the recalled crib online between July 2009 and October 2009. In the meantime, affected families should move the child to an alternate, age-appropriate safe sleeping environment such as a bassinet, play yard, or toddler bed. The recalled cribs can be identified by a label on the headboard or footboard that displays "Sorelle Furniture," the company's address, the model number, and a manufacturer's code.

Hazard

These cribs are re-labeled fixed-sided Simplicity cribs that contain tubular metal mattress-support frames recalled in April 2010. The mattress support frames can bend or detach, causing part of the mattress to drop, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib.

What should I do?

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Albee Baby for a replacement crib, store credit or refund. C&T International/Albee Baby is attempting to directly contact known consumers who purchased the recalled crib online from July 2009 through October 2009. In the meantime, find an alternate, age appropriate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed.

Details from the source

These are full-sized fixed-sided cribs sold in an oak finish, as 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 convertible cribs. "Sorelle Furniture" along with the company's address, the crib's model number and a manufacturer's code are printed on a label attached to the headboard or footboard. Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for parts separating. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers. Crib age is a factor in safety. At a minimum, CPSC staff recommends that you not use a crib that is older than 10 years. Many older cribs may not meet current voluntary standards and can have numerous safety problems.
