Revised Crib Mattress Standard May Become Mandatory

ASTM told CPSC on November 4, 2025 that it published a revised crib mattress standard (ASTM F2933-25). If the Commission does not reject the revision within 90 days, the revised standard will automatically be considered a mandatory consumer product safety standard effective 180 days after notice (i.e., May 3, 2026), which could require changes to performance tests, labels, or instructions.

Possible Safety Improvements for Baby Mattresses

CPSC is asking whether the revised voluntary standard (ASTM F2933-25) improves the safety of crib mattresses and invites public comment by December 17, 2025. If adopted, the revised standard is intended to address hazards to children through performance requirements, test methods, and warning labels, which could make mattresses safer for babies.
