The safest place for baby is in a crib that meets current standards. Beginning June 28, 2011, all cribs sold must meet new federal requirements for overall cribs safety. These new requirements prohibit the manufacturer or sale of traditional drop-side cribs. Improves let strength make hardware stronger. Artaffer testing and improved mattress support durability. America now has the strongest crib safety standards in the world. CPSC has recalled over 11 million cribs since 2007. CPSC has also received reports of 32 infant deaths associated with detached drop-side cribs. Our goal is to prevent these tragedies from ever happening again. Contact the crib manufactured to see if your crib complies with the new federal standard.
