12-16-10, 08:56 PM #1Drop Side Cribs banned
Mainly posting this here as I heard about it this morning, and been reading all the hissy fit comments by people, so curious to see if anyone here shared the same opinion.
Government Bans All Drop-Side Cribs - FoxBusiness.com
(yes its fox, story is accurate though)
After years of injuries and deaths, the US Consumer Products Safety Commission voted unanimously Thursday to ban the manufacture, sale and resale of all drop-side cribs, while simultaneously requiring all users to replace their defective cribs by the end of next year.
The move follows some 32 infant deaths and thousands of injuries, and more than nine million recalled cribs, all stemming from a partially detached side rail that creates a gap between the mattress and rail. The small space poses a potential threat for babies and toddlers to get stuck, suffocate, or fall out of the crib.
