CPSC Announcement on New Crib Safety Standards
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) proposed new safety standards
for full-size and non-full-size baby cribs.  The proposed new crib standards
are in response to numerous incidents of injury or fatality to infants
involving such cribs.  The Commission is requesting comments on these new
proposed standards by October 6, 2010.  The proposed new crib standards will
apply to all owners and operators of child care facilities, including family
child care homes.  Once the new standards are in effect, it will be unlawful
to provide a crib for use that does not meet the new standards.  We
encourage you to review these proposed new standards and make comments.  The
Commission has proposed the new standards to be effective six months after
the publication of the final rule (which is unknown at this time, but could
be as early as this fall).  The Commission is also seeking comments
regarding the sufficiency of this six month effective date.  To read the
notice of proposed rulemaking as well as instructions for submitting
