The infant sleep aid products that must comply with mandatory safety standards include “standard” cribs, bassinets, and strollers. For example, the safety rules focus on making sure the baby doesn’t strangle himself/herself in the crib slat spaces. The rules govern whether the sleep aids can incline. The rules also are designed to ensure nobody’s fingers are pinched. At the time of the manufacture and sale of the Rock n’ Play sleep aids, the mandatory safety rules didn’t apply to newer products like the Rock n’ Play. To ensure that more modern sleep aids comply with safety reviews and safety requirements, the CPSC voted to requires that, starting in 2022, all baby sleep aid products comply with current safety standards. The vote is likely to affect infant sleepers and many other newer sleep-aid products. The CPSC vote and future votes may also govern whether beds that allow a baby to sleep in the same bed as their parents will be subject to strict safety standards. Many advocacy organizations and pediatricians applauded the CPSC decision to expand the safety requirements to more sleep aid products. The makers of the sleep aid products weren’t happy. The manufacturers claimed that “the new rule wasn’t justified and could lead to unintended consequences as parents leave their babies to sleep in even riskier places — like their beds.” The general counsel at Consumer Federation of America, one of the advocacy groups, wasn’t buying the manufacturer’s argument. She said their positions weren’t “a reason not to do the right thing.”
