Six major retailers are pulling from their shelves Simplicity bassinets linked to the deaths of two babies after the company refused to recall the product.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Toys ``R'' Us Inc., Kmart Corp., Big Lots, Target, J.C. Penney have recalled the ``close-sleeper/bedside sleeper'' made by the Reading, Pa., company because the products pose a strangulation hazard.
Last week, 6-month-old girl from Shawnee, Kan., was strangled when she became entrapped between the bassinet's metal bars. Last September, a 4-month-old girl from Noel, Mo., became entrapped in the product's metal bars and died.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says SFCA, the company that purchased the assets of Simplicity Inc., has refused to recall the products.
