NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- About one million Chinese-made, Simplicity brand cribs are being recalled after three infants died and seven were trapped when the drop side of cribs detached causing a dangerous gap, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
One 9-month-old child and one 6-month-old child died in cribs using older-style hardware that had the drop-side installed upside down.
I don't even know who made my daughters crib which all 3 used but my 16 week old sleeps in with us anyway but this is just awful.
And we still import things from China...Whhhhyyyy?

Isn't it how people put the crib together that was causing the problem and not actually the crib?
I thought those that are put together right are ok.

Gee. Things have improved. I had to assemble the crib we used for all of our children, beginning in 1967. It came unassembled in a box. So, a news story which says the Chinese installed the drop-side incorrectly doesn't quite ring true with me. I'd wait for the follow-up to this one before worrying too much.

That is awful........
I was just going to stay on her for half hour then put my 12 week old to bed for the night, im going to check mine out now.
Lets just hope and pray there are no more horrific cases.
