Newport Rubbed Black 4-in-1 Cribs and Matching Furniture are being recalled by Munire because the red paint underneath the black finish paint used on some of the crinbs and furniture contains too much lead. Lead, of course, is toxic and can cause adverse health effects if ingested by young children. There has already been one report of a child being diagnosed with lead poisonong after ingesting lead from one of these cribs.
The wooden cribs concerned in this 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. You can find the model number, country of manufacture and date printed on a label attached to the crib’s side panel and the manufacture date on the back panel of the furniture.
