WASHINGTON (AP) -- A government safety group says parents shouldn't use a Pennsylvania company's baby bassinets after two babies were trapped and strangled in the product.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said infants can slip through the bars and suffocate in the "close-sleeper/bedside sleeper" bassinets, made by Simplicity Incorporated of Reading, Pa.

Simplicity's 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets contain metal bars spaced farther apart than federal standards allow.

SFCA Inc. acquired Simplicity's assets in April, and the CPSC said they have "refused to cooperate with the government and recall the products."

SFCA denies any responsibility for products previously made by Simplicity.
