A crib has been recalled after a child was diagnosed with lead poisoning.
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection said the Newport 4-In-1 Cribs and matching furniture have been recalled because of excessive levels of lead in the paint.
The products were sold nationwide at various specialty furniture stores from April 2006 to November 2008. The cribs sold for about $600, and the matching furniture pieces were sold from $700 to $1,000. The pieces were manufactured in Indonesia for Munire Furniture Inc. of New Jersey.
The cribs and furniture are made of wood and have a rubbed black finish. The red paint underneath the black finish contains high levels of lead on some pieces.
The DCP said that Munire has received a report of a child diagnosed with lead poisoning after ingesting the paint.
The label, containing the model number, date and country of manufacture can be found on the side panel of the crib. The date of manufacture is on the back panel of the furniture.
