The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 24,000 baby cribs manufactured by Munire Furniture Inc., of Piscataway, New Jersey. The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards in that the brackets supporting the mattress spring are too long and prevent the spring from lowering to the full 26 inch minimum height in the lowest position. This could allow a child to crawl over the railing and fall.

This recall involves several different crib models:

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.

Only cribs with manufacture dates between November 1, 2005 and November 1, 2007 are included in this recall. You can find the crib model number printed on the white label on the bottom inside of the right side rail. The crib manufacture date is printed on either the white label near the model number or on the white label on the bottom of the headboard. Cribs with a green sticker on the mattress frame are not included in this recall.

Manufactured in Indonesia, these cribs were sold at specialty juvenile product stores nationwide from November 2005 through November 2007 for between $400 and $600.

If you have one of the recalled cribs, you should stop using it immediately band contact Munire Furniture to receive replacement spring brackets. You can reach them by calling (866) 586-9639 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET or by visiting their Web site.
