Simmons Kids Recalls Crib Mattresses Due to Entrapment Hazard
Simmons Kids, a division of The Simmons Manufacturing Co., LLC of Atlanta, Ga.
Hazard
Some of the crib mattresses can measure smaller than the 27 1/4 inch minimum width requirement for cribs, creating a gap between the mattress and crib side rails, posing an entrapment hazard to infants.
Remedy
Consumers should measure the width of their mattress using a reliable measuring device, such as a yard stick or tape measure, by removing all outer coverings, placing mattress on floor and measuring the width near the middle, from the outside edge of the tape binding to the opposite side of the mattress. Consumers should immediately stop using the mattress if it measures less than 27 1/4 inches and contact Simmons Kids to receive a free replacement mattress.
Sold at
Pottery Barn Kids and nursery furniture retailers from July 2006 through May 2008 for between $100 and $150.
Affected count
About 20,000
Injuries reported
Simmons Kids and CPSC have received one report of a 6-month-old baby becoming wedged between the mattress and crib's frame. The baby was removed from the crib by the parent without injury.
