Analyzed Economic Effects

Crib Standard Compliance Correction
If you make non-full-size baby cribs, the CPSC corrected which parts of the voluntary ASTM F406-24 standard you are not required to follow: the rule now says do not comply with sections 9.6.1 through 9.6.1.4 of ASTM F406-24 (replacing an incorrect reference to 9.3.2–9.3.2.4). This correction is effective April 5, 2025, unless a significant adverse comment is filed by February 28, 2025, and the agency states it will not impose extra costs on businesses.
