Munire Cribs Recalled after Child Is Poisoned by Lead Paint

3,000 Newport Rubbed Black 4-in-1 Cribs and 6,000 matching furniture pieces made by Munire Furniture of Piscataway, New Jersey were recalled after one child was hospitalized for lead poisoning from the lead paint which is in excess of the federal limits. 

The paint in question is a red paint underneath the black finish paint on some of the cribs and matching furniture which can be harmful to teething babies and toddlers who may ingest the paint chips after chewing on the rails like this one baby did.

Specialty furniture stores nationwide sold these items from April 2006 through November 2008.  For more information about the recall, check out the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission news release here.
