</span><b><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Calligraphy"'>CPSC
Announcement on New Crib Safety Standards<br>
</span></b><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Calligraphy"'>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 <b>October 6, 2010</b>. 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 comments please click here: <a
