St. Louis – The US Consumer Product Safety Comission says Wal-Mart, Toys "R" Us, Kmart, Big Lots, Target, and J.C. Penney have recalled Simplicity's "close-sleeper/bedside sleeper" because the products pose a strangulation hazard.
Last week, a baby girl from Shawnee, Kan. was strangled when she became trapped between the bassinet's metal bars. A 4-month old girl from Pineville, Mo. died last September in a similar way.
The CPSC says the company that purchased Simplicity has refused to recall the bassinet.
