Munire Furniture, in conjunction with the CPSC, is recalling about 24,000 Majestic Curved Top and Flat Top Cribs, Essex Cribs, Brighton/Sussex Cribs and Captiva Cribs due to a fall hazard.

Hazard: The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards for cribs. The four support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long. The brackets prevent the spring from lowering to the full 26 inch minimum height in its lowest position, allowing children inside to crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard.

The recalled cribs include Majestic Curved Top cribs with the model number 9500; Majestic Flat Top cribs with the model number 9000; Essex cribs with model number 7100; Brighton/Sussex cribs with the model number 9100 and Captiva cribs with the model number 5100 and all the cribs are wooden.

The model number is listed on a white label on the bottom inside of the right side rail of the crib. The manufacture date is on the white label near the model number or on the white label that is on the bottom of the headboard. Cribs that have a green sticker on the mattress frame are not included in the recall.

The recalled cribs were available at specialty kid product stores across the U.S. from November 2005 to November 2007 and were manufactured in Indonesia.
