WASHINGTON (AP) — About 104,000 Aspen 3-in-1 cribs have been recalled due to the suffocation hazard the wooden cribs' mattresses pose to young children.
The cribs, sold under the Graco trademark and manufactured by Simplicity Inc., have screws on the wooden mattress support that can come loose, allowing a portion of the mattress to fall and pose a suffocation hazard. The company has received 14 reports of screws becoming loose, including eight incidents of trapped children.
The recalled cribs have a model number 8740KCWSC, which is printed on an envelope attached to the mattress support. Only cribs made between July 2003 through April 2005 are recalled.
