Congress mandate may send 100,000 cribs to the dump

Published



A mandate passed by Congress in December will leave over 100,000 cribs destined for the dumps unless they are sold by June 28, according to a report from the Heritage Foundation.

Retailers were given 6 months to sell their current inventory of cribs affected by the safety mandate, but so far they can’t sell them fast enough. All child-care facilities, family child-care homes and places of public accommodations, such as hotels and motels, are facing a deadline replace their cribs by December 28.
