New Crib Safety Standards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has approved new mandatory standards for all cribs. Effective June 2011, cribs manufactured and sold in the United States must comply with the new standards.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled more than 11 million cribs since 2007. For more information on crib recalls, crib safety, and safe sleep environments for your baby, visit the Consumer Products crib information center at www.cpsc.gov/info/cribs/index.html or ask your Parent Educator of Family Service Worker.
