As I understand this, mine would NOT be involved in the recall because the "flexible plastic tab" is at the BOTTOM.This recall involves all drop side cribs with a different or “newer” style of plastic hardware from those cribs recalled in September 2007. This newer style of Simplicity hardware can be identified by a flexible plastic tab at the top of the lower tracks
This same crib had a recall about a year ago. This is the one we have.
*Off to see if ours is recalled.*
Thanks.
Hadn't seen this recall yet.
ETA:
Is mine recalled? I don't quite understand and I can't find the model number. I see how they said... As I understand this, mine would NOT be involved in the recall because the "flexible plastic tab" is at the BOTTOM.
Correct?

When was yours bought? I am pretty sure it was recalled in the 9/2007 or the 9/2008 recall. Go to the CPSC website, or call them to be sure.
Hopefully you are lucky and it is ok, but I wouldn't use it until you know for sure.
Note: The firm appears to no longer conduct day-to-day operations. Repair kits are no longer available to fix these recalled cribs. Parents and caregivers are advised to dispose of these cribs, even if it is believed that the hardware and drop side have been installed correctly. All of the recalled cribs have the potential to pose a danger to young children.
Yep you're right. We didn't have the crib at that time of the recall, a friend of ours was using it.
Here's the link to the older recall http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07307.html
Read the red at the very top.
Uh, so what am I supposed to do??
mine is # 8745 purchased at Walmart. I cannot for the life of me recall how much I paid for it because I bought it with a slew of other items when we had to start from scratch after Hurricane Katrina. Does anyone know what the price of it was? I want to know what I am getting so I can immediately come home and purchase another crib... and figure out what hte heck I am going to do with no crib for a couple weeks... It was the 4 in 1 that has a trundle drawer.
it took me close to 45 minutes to get mine returned this morning. Someone from baby dept had to be called, then that person had to go look it up. tick tock she finally comes back. Tick tock to wait for a manager to come up to assist in the return since it was a recall. Then, it rings up for $100. I KNOW I paid like $150 or so for it and even on their website its saying 128.84. So, manager goes off to a computer to look it up. He comes back with the 128.84 number. I just took it and got it on a gift card. Honestly, I jsut didn't even feel like fighting. It was already taking way longer than it should have. I just wanted it to be done. I am normally confrontational when I am being shortchanged. I may call corporate and speak to them and see if I can go back in and fix it all. Sometimes fighting with them in the store is pointless.
it was at walmart and they told me they could only give me a gift card. I sucked it up and ordered a crib from their website last night. Part of me wants to cancel and fight for cash....
ETA... I just called customer service and that was ZERO help. She advised me to call the store and ask them. um.. hello.. I just told you they told me they could only give me a gift card! Aren't the people at the corporate call center suppose to know more about policy?
As for the order I placed less then 14 hours ago, it can't be canceled now per the website.
