Feb. 29, 2008 -- Do you have?a crib at home? Check it to see if it's subject to a new crib recall, and to make sure it's set up for infant safety.
The new crib recall, issued by Munire Furniture, includes about 24,000 of the following wooden cribs made between Nov. 1, 2005, and Nov. 1, 2007:
The model number is printed on a white label on the bottom inside of the right 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 aren't included in the recall.
The recalled cribs don't meet federal safety standards. The four support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long, preventing the spring from lowering to its lowest position. Kids in the cribs may crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard. No injuries have been reported, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The cribs were sold at specialty juvenile product stores nationwide from November 2005 through November 2007 for $400 to $600.
Stop using the recalled cribs and contact Munire Furniture to receive replacement spring brackets. Call Munire Furniture at 866-586-9639 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. or visit the recall information section of Munire's web site.

Many injuries and deaths associated with nursery products weren't caused by those products, notes the CPSC, which provides the following tips for parents and caregivers:
