CONVERTIBLE CRIB BASSINETS FROM SIMPLICITY RECALLED AFTER TWO MORE CHILDREN DIE— SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS CAN HELP
Product liability lawsuits may cover a large number of products, including everything from bicycles to swimming pools to children’s toys. These types of lawsuits depend on the circumstances of each case, and how a person got injured by a certain product. For example, if you were riding your bike backwards downhill, and got injured, you would likely not succeed in a personal injury lawsuit against the manufacturer of the bike. However, if you were using the bike normally, but one of the wheels fell off, and you were injured, then you may have a claim against the bicycle company.
Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets were recalled last year, but the recall has been re-announced due to two more infant deaths. Prior to August of 2008, there had been two deaths as a result of the design of the bassinet. The bassinet’s metal bars are placed further apart than federal regulation allows, and if the Velcro-attached fabric is not properly secured on the metal bars, then the children may suffocate in the extra fabric or may get their heads caught in between the bars. The recalled bassinets were manufactured before August 2008 and some have been sold under the Graco brand and others have Winnie the Pooh characters printed on the fabric.
