By now many of you have heard about the recall of cribs designed by Simplicity for Children after the deaths of two infants. We wanted to assure you that MCC’s Cribs for Kids program does not use any of the recalled cribs.
However, if you or someone else you know are using a crib not supplied by the Cribs for Kids program, here is the info on the recalled cribs:
Name of Product: Majestic Curved Top and Flat Top Cribs, Essex Cribs, Brighton/Sussex Cribs and Captiva Cribs
Hazard: The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards for cribs. The 4 support brackets are too long. The brackets prevent the mattress from lowering to the proper position, allowing children inside to crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard.
Incidents/Injuries: None reported.
Description: The cribs are wooden. The recalled cribs include: 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. Only cribs with manufacture dates between November 1, 2005 and November 1, 2007 are included in the recall. The crib model number is 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 located on the bottom of the headboard. Cribs with a green sticker on the mattress frame are not included in the recall.
Sold at: Specialty juvenile product stores nationwide from November 2005 through November 2007 for between $400 and $600.
Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled cribs and contact Munire Furniture at (866) 586-9639 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET or visit the firm’s Web site at www.munirefurniture.com
