The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Munire Furniture Inc, of Piscataway, N.J., announced a voluntary recall of Newport Rubbed Black 4-in-1 Cribs and Matching Furniture. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
The red paint which is underneath the black finish paint on some of the cribs and matching furniture exceeds federal lead limits. If ingested by young children lead can cause adverse health effects. Munire has received one report of a child ingesting the paint. The child was diagnosed with lead poisoning.
The recalled cribs and furniture (About 3,000 Cribs and 6,000 Matching Furniture Pieces) are made of wood and have a rubbed black finish. Only the “Newport Rubbed Black” cribs and matching furniture manufactured in Indonesia between April 2006 and November 2008 are included in this recall. The model number, date, and country of manufacture are printed on the label attached to the side panel of the crib and the date of manufacture is on the back panel of the furniture. Models listed below are included in the recall: 7900 Newport Lifetime Crib; 7918 Hutch for Combo & Double Dresser; 7915 Mirror; 7908 Combo; 7902 Nightstand; 7907 Conversion Kit for Lifetime Crib; 7905 5 Drawer Dresser; 7929 Armoire; 7975 Guardrail for Lifetime Crib; 7906 Double Dresser; 7914 Bookcase; and 7901 Newport OldeWorld Crib.
These items were sold at specialty furniture stores nationwide from April 2006 through November 2008 for about $600 for the crib and the matching furniture pieces were sold between $700 and $1,000. Additional accessories were sold for about $170.
