Feb. 29, 2008 — Do you have a crib at home? Check it to see if it’s subject to a new crib recall, and to make sure it’s set up for infant safety.

The new crib recall, issued by Munire Furniture, includes about 24,000 of the following wooden cribs made between Nov. 1, 2005, and Nov. 1, 2007:

* Majestic Curved Top cribs with model number 9500
* Majestic Flat Top cribs with model number 9000
* Essex cribs with model number 7100
* Brighton/Sussex cribs with model number 9100
* Captiva cribs with model number 5100

The model number is printed on a white label on the bottom inside of the right rail. The crib manufacture date is printed on either the white label near the model number or on the white label located on the bottom of the headboard.

Cribs with a green sticker on the mattress frame aren’t included in the recall.

The recalled cribs don’t meet federal safety standards. The four support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long, preventing the spring from lowering to its lowest position. Kids in the cribs may crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard. No injuries have been reported, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The cribs were sold at specialty juvenile product stores nationwide from November 2005 through November 2007 for $400 to $600.
