CPSC Proposes New Rules for Baby Cribs
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission voted in favor of new mandatory standards this week in order to address the safety hazards that certain cribs pose for babies. The recommendations would affect testing methods, mattress support performance requirements and other defects.
Most important, CPSC wishes to basically prohibit traditional drop side crib designs because the movable sides create gaps that can cause a baby to suffocate, become trapped or fall. CPSC would like to finalize the proposed mandatory crib standards by the end of this year. Source
