Weeks Later, Graco and Simplicity Offer Crib Repair Kit
We wrote over one month ago about
three children who died while in their cribs and the manufacturer's impending recall. We also offered then as we do now to help any parent for free if they experience difficulties in having the manufacturer assist them with the crib recall.
Simplicity is now offering a free "repair kit" for Simplicity and
Graco branded cribs. Consumers must register with the company to get the kit. The site is at
simplicityforchildren.com. Parents can also call the company toll-free at 888-593-9274.
Although the launch of our recall site is days away, this issue bears repeating for all consumers. If you forwarded our last blog about this problem to parents, please make sure they have the updated information too.
