About new Crib Regulations effective June 28, 2011:
We realize this creates hardships for many, including families, child-care businesses, and resale. After reading the information on crib-related death, we must stand on the side of wisdom and good judgement.
Between November 1, 2007 and April 11, 2010, there were 18 fatalities directly related to the drop-side crib failures. Almost all—whether they occurred due to detachments, disengagements, or breakages—created openings in which the infant became entrapped.
81788 Federal Register/Vol.75, No. 248/Tuesday, December 28, 2010/Rules and Regulations/ CPSC
Beginning June 2011, we will no longer buy, nor sell, any cribs that were manufactured with a drop-side. http://www.cpsc.gov/info/cribs/regulations.html.
