CHICAGO, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- U.S. authorities were reported looking into a possible design flaw link between two baby deaths and a popular bassinet.
The Chicago Tribune says the deaths came about a year apart, one involving a 4-month-old Noel, Mo., girl last September and a 6-month-old girl last week in Shawnee, Kan., both involving a Simplicity bassinet.
The Tribune, which won a Pulitzer Prize last year for an investigation into similar deaths, said one family sought a recall. But instead, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering a warning label, the newspaper says.
An attorney for one family has filed a wrongful death suit against Simplicity and Wal-Mart, saying when he sought a recall he got no response.
