bassinet recall!

I know you're not all parents, but I am, and this is my website. Simplicity has (begrudgingly, it seems) posted a recall on their bassinets. Not all of them, but they have issued at least 2 recalls because after the first one, another baby died in another model bassinet. I can't find one good site that explains it all, but the Elfe site has a notice (you sort of have to look, though) and if you google it you'll find lots of things.

My vote goes to if you have a Simplicity brand bassinet you return it and get your money back, and if you have a bassinet of a similar design you maybe stop using it. I checked mine, it's First Years, and I can't see how it would be a danger, but my little sweet pea sleeps in her crib now anyway. With airflow bumpers and no big blankets, toys, or pillows. I lay her down on her back but she rolls over, so I can't help that she sleeps on her tummy. My heart goes out to the poor families who lost children when they were trying to sleep their babies in (what should have been) the safest place possible.
