And I thought Simplicity just made sewing patterns; they make furniture too? I always had more than my share of trouble following the instructions while attempting to sew something but chalked it up to my lack of sewing genes. Apparently, though, I can blame the company instead for their faulty instructions, since for about 40,000 "Nursery-in-a-Box" cribs, the instructions were printed incorrectly, leading people to install the drop side of the crib upside down which could entrap a baby or fall on someone. Not only that, but there are chokable pieces that fall right off the crib into an eager baby's waiting mouth.
Cribs are just falling apart left and right, aren't they? Does no one, I don't know, test these things? [sigh] This recall extends to cribs that were sold as part of a set that included a changing table and a clothing organizer (aka "a box"), and came in white, cherry, or natural. If you own this you are being advised to immediately check to see if the drop side of your crib is installed upside down (though I am sure you would have noticed this before), and if you have any doubts you can even watch a video which shows you everything you always wanted to know (and more) about installing the drop side properly.
