WASHINGTON (Market Watch) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Friday called for the voluntary recall of about 1 million Chinese-manufactured cribs following the death of two infants, officials said.

The Simplicity Inc. cribs were sold from January 1998 through May 2007 for $100 to $300. The crib's design allows consumers to install its so-called drop side (the crib panel that can be lowered) upside down, which can weaken the hardware and cause the drop side to detach. Infants can become trapped in the gap created when the drop side detaches, according to the CPSC.

My husband gets mad points for this, anything recall wise, he is on it quicker that google gets results. My girl from Vegas called me last night also, and goes 'Check your crib NOW', its awesome to have friends like that, its been a long time since she dealt with cribs, her girl just turned like 13-14 over the weekend. Its so sad we have to learn about recalls like this, and with all the recalls for numerous products going on lately, it makes me think alot of people are really not doing their job.

I was sent this recall by my mom. Its insane. Thank goodness our crib isn't one of the recalled ones.

I think its sad our safety standards when checking at the factory aren't good enough to stop things like this from happening.
