I want to alert all Georgia parents of infants who may own a Simplicity bassinet. Do not use it any more. These bassinets have been recalled because they may lead to strangulation death of the infant. It has come to light, however, that the distributor of these deadly bassinets, SFCA, Inc., ignored the recall and did not notify bassinet owners of the danger. The Illinois Attorney General has filed suit against SFCA, Inc. for ignoring the recall and subjecting more families to a needless risk of death by using these bassinets. The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) is considering changing its rules covering crib defects. Congratulations to Attorney General Madigan for showing the courage to go after these manufacturers for putting our children at risk.

I would like to see the Georgia Attorney General, Hon. Therbert Baker, do the same thing and file suit against SFCA, Inc. Until then, check the manufacturer of any bassinet you may have in your house and if it is manufactured by SFCA, Inc., do not continue to use it and return it to SFCA, Inc. Also, you might want to alert the CPSC. Keep your babies safe!

I want to pass this very important information to Georgia consumers, particularly parents and grandparents of infants, about a new crib recall. Federal regulators have ordered the recall of nearly 1.6 million cribs following the deaths of two infants. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and crib manufacturer Delta Enterprises announced the recall Monday citing problems with a mechanism known as a 'spring peg' as the defect which posed a risk to children. The recall, believed to be one of the largest in history, covers cribs and produced in China, Indonesia and Taiwan between 1995 and 2005.

Please check your crib NOW to see if it was manufactured by this crib maker, Delta Enterprises. If so,take it out of use immediately! Although the name "Delta Enterprises" makes it sound as if it is a U.S. manufacturer, the reality is these cribs were manufactured in China and other countries that simply do not have the same regulations and quality control as U.S. manufacturers. If you have experienced a problem with one of these cribs, please report it to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) right now! Here is a link to reach the CPSC. http://www.cpsc.gov/
