Near-infrared JHKL photometry of more than 200 stars, members of the open clusters Tr 14, Tr 15, Tr 16, Cr 228 and Cr 232 in the Carina Nebula are presented. From comparing these results with the available visual photometry and spectroscopy, it is found that, except in Tr 15, the intracluster reddening is characterized by a 'normal' extinction law at lambda of greater than 0.5 microns but is highly anomalous and variable in the U-bands and B-bands. This behavior may be explained by the presence of intracluster interstellar grains 'processed' by shock waves presumably associated with the explosive history of Eta Carinae. All clusters are found to be at the same distance from the sun at d = 2.4 + or - 0.2 kpc. The total amount of reddening, though, differs significantly from cluster to cluster.
