Chinese Cribs Want To Kill Your Baby!

About 1 million Simplicity and Graco cribs are being recalled after three children became entrapped and died of suffocation.

Two infants, a 6-month-old and a 9-month-old, died in the recalled cribs, which were sold through May 2007. A 1-year-old child died in a newer model of the cribs, which has not been recalled but is being investigated by safety agencies.

In all three deaths, the consumer had installed the drop-rail side of the crib upside down, which creates a gap in the crib that children can slide into and suffocate.

Seven other infants have been entrapped in the cribs, and there have been 55 reports of the cribs' drop sides detaching or the hardware failing to hold the side to the crib.

Simplicity Inc., of Reading, Pa., is listed as manufacturer of all the cribs, which were made in...yes, China!

Well, there you have it. They won't give up trying to kill American babies. Lead, suffocation, it doesn't matter. The Chinese are like the Terminator - they will...not...stop...ever...until they are dead! Unlike the Terminator, they tend to be shorter, but are suprsingly nimble acrobats.
