Munire Furniture cribs recalled for fall hazard
February 28, 2008 at 3:20 pm

munirecrib.jpgWell just looking at the picture of this crib it looks like a baby could easily fall out regardless of it being broken or not, but perhaps we’re just not up on the latest in crib styles. Apparently the problem is that the support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long, which blocks the mattress from being lowered all the way — specifically, to the 26 inch minimum required between the mattress and the top of the crib railing. Anything higher than that, and junior can crawl his way over the top and potentially fall right on his noggin.

These cribs are wooden, and the models included are: 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, and Captiva cribs with model number 5100. (The model number is printed on a label underneath the right side rail)

These cribs were manufactured between November 1, 2005 and November 1, 2007 and were sold at specialty kid stores nationwide in the range of $400 - $600(!). Parents can contact Munire Furniture through their website and receive replacement support brackets. Sheesh, for that kind of price, they should send someone out to replace them for you.
