The "close-sleeper/bedside sleeper" bassinets, made by Simplicity Inc. of
Reading, Pa., can allow infants to slip through the product and suffocate,
said the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Simplicity Inc.'s 3-in-1 and
4-in-1 convertible bassinets contain metal bars spaced farther apart than
federal standards allow.
There are two reported deaths already. And if this isn't bad enough, my favorite part of the article states (emphasis mine):
"SFCA Inc., the company which purchased all of Simplicity Inc.'s assets in
April, "has refused to cooperate with the government and recall the products,"
CPSC said in a release Wednesday. "SFCA maintains that it is not
responsible for products previously manufactured by Simplicity Inc."

Well, they have just permanently lost one potential customer. Any others?

There are some situations where regardless of culpability a company just needs to "do the RIGHT thing"...this is one of those times. SFCA Inc is showing their lack of character (IMO) by not doing the right thing here, and yes, they have lost me as a potential customer as well.
Thanks for the heads up. Have a great weekend!

It is so sad to hear about the babies who died this way.
