- Essex cribs with model number 7100;

The crib model number is printed on the white label on the bottom inside of the right side 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 are not included in the recall.
Hazard identified
The cribs fail to meet the federal safety requirements for cribs. The four support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long. The brackets prevent the spring from lowering to the full 26 inch minimum height in its lowest position, allowing children inside to crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard.

Approximately 500 units were sold in Canada.
Time period sold
Sold at specialty juvenile product stores nationwide from November 2005 through November 2007 for between $400 and $600.
Manufactured in Indonesia.
