WASHINGTON — Beginning today, the government is prohibiting the manufacture, sale or resale of drop-side baby cribs, even at neighborhood yard and garage sales.
Ushering in one of the most significant changes in child safety in decades, the federal rule taking effect this week bans the manufacture, sale and resale of the cribs, which have been blamed in the deaths of dozens of children.
Another significant part of the new federal standard mandates more rigorous safety tests for cribs before they hit the market.
