  • 2025-01721 — Safety Standard for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8676
    Reading Time:about 26 minutes

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a direct final rule updating the mandatory safety standards for non-full-size baby cribs. This update incorporates the revised voluntary standard ASTM F406-24, which includes improvements to the safety of crib accessories and warning labels to reduce strangulation hazards. The rule will automatically take effect on April 5, 2025, unless CPSC receives a significant adverse comment by March 3, 2025. The updates do not affect the existing testing requirements or pose new regulatory burdens on manufacturers, as they are mainly clarifying and strengthening safety standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The people who keep products safe made a new rule to make baby cribs safer. They updated the rules to help prevent accidents and will put these changes into action unless lots of people say there's a problem with them before a certain date.
