Albee Baby Sorelle Brand "Prescott" Fixed-Side Cribs Recalled

On Sept. 14, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 130 Sorelle brand "Prescott" fixed-side cribs.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and find an alternate, age-appropriate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed.

The recalled Sorelle brand cribs are re-labeled Simplicity cribs that were previously recalled due to an infant death.

The mattress support frames on the recalled cribs can bend or detach, causing part of the mattress to drop, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged, entrapped or fall out of the crib.

In the previous Simplicity recall, issued in April 2010, the CPSC reported the death of a one-year-old child from Attleboro, Mass. who suffocated when he became entrapped between the crib mattress and the crib frame.

The recalled Sorelle Brand cribs were sold online at AlbeeBaby.com between July 2009 and October 2009 for $180 to $210.

For more information on the Sorelle brand "Prescott" fixed-side cribs recall, including how to obtain a replacement crib, store credit or refund, read the CPSC recall notice.

At least 13 children have died in recalled Simplicity cribs and bassinets. For more information on Simplicity nursery product recalls, visit the CPSC website.

In addition, the agency’s crib information center provides a complete listing of crib recalls and information for parents on crib safety.
