This past July, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued notice that by the end of 2010, they would be implementing new regulations for cribs.  The mandated safety standards affect those who own or operate childcare facilities.  They also apply to motels and hotels.  While the regulations do not specifically refer to churches, it would seem reasonable the new standards will have implication for churches as well.

Here is a white paper detailing the new safety standards.

Here is a statement from the head of the CPSC providing some additional history and information.

The Church Furniture Partner believes that Foundations offers the best crib line for churches in the country.  Their entire line of cribs will meet these new standards and those products can be accessed for the lowest prices through Church Furniture Partner.  I encourage you to make sure that your church nursery does meet these new standards as soon as possible.
