Dangerous Bassinets Now Include “Graco” and “Winnie the Pooh” Brand

A major recall of Simplicity Bassinets includes the Graco logo and “Winnie the Pooh” motif licensed by Disney Consumer Products. 

Due to the serious hazard these bassinets pose to babies, all consumers, day care centers, consignment stores, family and friends should ensure that no child is placed to sleep in a Simplicity convertible bassinet covered by this warning.

See the previous story, “CRITICAL RECALL: 900,000 Simplicity Bassinets Recalled Due To Deaths!“.

The Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets contain metal bars that are covered by an adjustable fabric flap which is attached by velcro. The fabric is folded down when the bassinet is converted into a bed-side co-sleeping position. If the velcro is not properly re-secured when the flap is adjusted, an infant can slip through the opening and become entrapped in the metal bars and suffocate. This warning does not cover bassinets produced in recent months that have fabric permanently attached over the lower bar.

The following retailers have voluntarily agreed to recall the product and provide a refund or store credit to consumers who return the product to the store where purchased:
