This is a voluntary recall coming from furniture maker, Munire Furniture, based out of New Jersey (cribs manufactured in Indonesia). It is relatively minor since it is not a full product recall and allows for a free replacement part to be sent out. But as dads know, meaning the family fix-it guy, you will have to take your kids crib apart (half-way at least) to install the new shorter spring bracket. So there’s more of an inconvenience factor to this recall. Regardless, check your crib and model number and go to the company website listed below.

For those of us without Munire Cribs, the thing to learn here is that at its lowest setting the crib spring should allow you to lower the crib bed surface to a full 26 inches. For fully annotated dimensions, safety stands and requirements of full sized cribs, please download the CPSC Requirements for Full Size Baby Cribs so you can spot check your kid’s crib. It certainly doesn’t hurt to check.

The hazard is the cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards because the four support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long in its lowest position thus allowing babies to potentially crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard. The wooden Munire models affected in this recalls are:

• Majestic Curved Top,
  
• Flat Top Cribs,
  
• Essex Cribs,
  
• Brighton/Sussex Cribs
  
• Captiva Cribs
