I have the simplicity 3 and 1with changing table. We were going to finally take it down and sell it since we dont need it anymore, its been 4 1/2 years since we bought it, and a friend of mine told me it had been recalled last year. I’m not sure what to do now. Any suggestions would be helpful. It has the drop down sides and the metel tube mattress bottom. Thanks.

Krista, just take it to Walmart, tell them it is a crib that was part of a complete recall because of the drop side, also that all of the simplicity cribs were recalled. They should be able to help you, or just give you a refund on a similar crib. But go durring normal hours, the worst thing to do is take it after hours or on the weekend, there won’t be anyone who can help and you will be there for hours…

Does anyone have a UPC and item number for the Simplicity Crib ‘N Changer organizer model 8994? I called Walmart and they told me to contact CPSC for those. Of course CPSC has nothing to do with the upc. The local store doesn’t even have the recall info so we have to take the print out with us when we return the item. But after reading all the comments here, I think maybe taking the item number and upc would be helpful in getting something done. I don’t expect to make any money off the deal. All I want is a safe crib for my 4 month old. I used this crib with my now 5 year old. Wish I would have known about the recall before now. There has been 2 separate recalls on this particular crib. I feel like a terrible mom not to have known about them til now.

I actually thought last time that I had heard that the storkcraft cribs beinf recalled were only made before 2007. I actually didn’t use the drop railing when my son was in it only because once he decided he’d sleep in it he was already old enough to put his leg over the top! so I took the rail off and used it as a toddler bed. I have since sold this crib to another mom (not thinking it was a recalled crib) and now we’re trying to figure out what brand it is (it doesn’t say storkcraft anywhere) and I don’t know where to look to find the brand or model number, it has a spring type bottom, (not solid like my daughter’s storkcraft) I’m thinking it might be a simplicity, can anybody help me with any of this info? oh btw I bought it at a used childrens clothing store called once upon a child, I’m in canada.

I bought the Simplicity 8995 at Target, 2 years ago and now need the crib for my 6 month old. TO learn that it was recalled since last year was frustrating enough. I called Target immediately and after speaking to various staff members, I decided to contact Target Guest Relations, on the Target recall items page, (FAQs) and they gave me a case number which I then had my husband take to the store. There, they did not even check anything, they scanned the id and then provided our refund in case. This is why I love Target, they know how to treat customers, KMart, Sears and other places would have made this so much more complicated. I wish you all luck, but please do not feel like you’ve lost your money, put up a fight if you must, your baby deserves a new crib that is safe. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spread the word about these recalled cribs. Good luck all!!!!!!

Also, you only need to take the CRIB back. You don’t need the box or the changing table/dresser if it came with one. You don’t need a receipt, but you may not get the full price back without one, because most of these models have probably been out of the computer system for a long time. Stores are told what they are allowed to refund for each crib, but with a receipt, you should receive a full refund.

YES. Take the crib back. I did not know this until recently. It is against the LAW to sell a recalled item, whether at a yard sale or pawn shop or thrift shop. The only other way is to throw it in the trash. But if it’s on recall, and it says to return it to the store, return it for a refund. It may not always be for the price you gave for it, without a receipt, but you will get something back. After so many months, I know at Walmart, some items get deleted and replaced with new items that have a different model number, but are virtually the same item. So without a receipt, you will get whatever the last known price is, which we usually receive from the merchandiser.

All recalls should be the same at any store. The CPSC states on their websites what to do with a recalled item. Sometimes you can take it to the store of purchase and receive either a full refund, or if that’s not available, without a receipt the last known price of the item. Other times, the cpsc states to call the merchandiser for a repair kit or voucher, etc.

Very Mad–I don’t know what store you went to, but if I were you, I would have asked to talk to the highest management that was on duty. True, we may not have the UPC number or price of a recall from last year readily available, but they ARE able to look it up. They can go on what the employees know as THE WIRE, and can look up recalls. They should have been able to look it up. I have dealt with recalls that took 30 min or more, but in the end, we are usually able to locate the number or price. I’m sorry you went through so much only to leave empty handed. I know we have had customers that were frustrated also, because sometimes it does take a while to locate prices for recalled items. We are required to post a recall for 30 days. Unfortunately, those posts only state model numbers and not upc numbers. So older recalls will take a while to locate, but they should have been able to find something.

I work for Walmart and I do understand any of your frustrations. It frustrates us too when we know that an item is on recall, but are unable to locate a UPC number. I know that the store I work at now has either the UPC number or the price that we are allowed to refund(without the receipt). Usually if we do not have access to the UPC number, management is contacted. It may take a bit, but they can usually come up with the UPC number or, at the very least, the last price it was sold at. I, too, have one of these beds that I must return. I would be upset like the rest of you, if I were to try and return this bed, knowing it’s on recall and that it’s been posted on Walmart’s recall list at the Customer Service Desk, only to be told they couldn’t find the proper number or price. Also, I know that we all think, I don’t need this receipt, and throw it away after a certain amount of time, but since there have been so many recalls, especially with child products from beds to toys and clothes, it’s best to keep your receipt. That way, you can take it with you and if it is a recalled item, there will be no issue, whatsoever. Or shouldn’t be anyway. Receipts for Walmart are only good thru 90 days, and then thru the company after that. But, if it IS a recalled item, Walmart will refund it, no matter how old. If your store isn’t willing to comply, have them contact a front end supervisor or management.

Ok, I am very angry. I seen on the news yesterday the recall on the two cribs. I have a simplicity model # 8050C. Checked to make sure mine wasn’t one and found out it was recalled last year. I had bought mine in march of 2009 and never got a letter stating a recall. So I contacted my local walmart and spoke to the baby dept manager and she said to bring the combo in to customer service. I decided after reading this website to call the walmart number and get the upc# just to make sure it was recalled. So last night I took all 3 pieces apart and back to walmart to have to stand in line forever and then to find out they don’t have it in there system after I had already called earlier to make sure. She said they only had the recalls that came out yesterday and not anything from last year. So after pretty much breaking down into tears, not knowing what to do as I even printed out the consumer page of the recall she didn’t care cause if it isn’t in there system, they can’t help me. Left the store and hubby seen I was raging and he decided to take over the ordeal when we got home and called 5 different walmart stores and got 5 different answers. One manager said it was recalled but the upc# was coming up a book. (74102289003) She said for us to call back tonight as she had to try and find the correct upc#. If she can’t help us, I guess we just threw money out the window. Regardless, I will go somewhere else to buy my crib. If anyone else has any luck, please let me know. I am on my last nerve.

I read the comments, and gave Wal-Mart a call 1-888-walmart press 2, 1, 1, and spoke with a customer service rep and told him I had a recalled child crib and he asked for the crib name and model number. He gave me a UPC code: 74102289001, and an Item Number: 2653387. He told me to take the crib to my local Wal-Mart and they will take care of me.

I took to the local Wal-Mart store:
1 – Crib (broken down)
2 – UPC & Item number given to me by calling Wal-Mart call center
3 – Copy of Recall from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09260.html

When I got to the store I checked in the crib at the front door return person and took crib to the in-store Customer Service counter. The UPC code wasn’t working, but the Item Number came up in their computer, as well as they had a notebook with listed recall information and used their notebook paperwork to enter the store credit amount. I received $199.99 +local tax in a Wal-Mart store credit. I did not have a receipt for the crib.
