CPSC Approves New Safety Standards For Cribs
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has approved new safety standards for crib mattresses.
In a statement on Wednesday, the CPSC said crib mattresses will be required to meet the new federal safety standard.
The latest standard will require improved marking, labeling, and instructions to communicate better the risks of injuries to consumers, also requiring that any mattress sold for use in a play yard meets the requirements as the original mattress.
