Bill Summary

AN ACT To provide that crib bumpers shall be considered banned hazardous products under section 8 of the Consumer Product Safety Act, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Safe Cribs Act, bans the use of crib bumpers, regardless of the date of manufacture, as they are considered a banned hazardous product under the Consumer Product Safety Act. The term "crib bumper" is defined broadly to include any material intended to cover the sides of a crib to prevent injury or entrapment, such as padded bumpers, vinyl bumper guards, and vertical crib slat covers. However, the ban does not apply to non-padded mesh crib liners. The bill requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to implement this ban within 180 days of the Act's enactment.
