Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr. U.Ismaylova / Simplicity inc and Graco branded beds have not been imported to Baku, Jafar Ahmadov, the deputy chief of the Sanitary-Quarantine Inspection of Azerbaijan, said on 25 September.

About 1,000,000 of Simplicity inc and Graco beds were withdrawn in the US after three children died due to defects in the construction of these beds, a press-release by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission reported.

The parents of the children who died are partially to blame in the incidents. They installed the parts upside down. As a result, a space formed in the beds and the children slipped off and were trapped.

The US's Consumer Product Safety Commission revealed that about seven children were trapped and 55 children were injured.

According to Gulu Jafarov, the head of the State Agency on Standardization, Metrology and Patent, almost all commodities imported from China to Azerbaijan have not been certified.

In most cases the Agency tries not to certify products made in China.

Ziyaddin Kazimov, the head of the Republican Hygiene and Epidemiology Centre confirmed that Simplicity inc and Graco beds had not been imported to Azerbaijan.
