BUT, according to Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) statistics, over 12,000 babies are injured and 50 die in the US each year in crib accidents, (excluding SIDS deaths) due to a lack of baby crib safety. Cribs that do not meet crib safety standards, have been associated with strangulation, laceration, amputation, entrapment, suffocation, falling and SIDS.

In addition, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certifies baby cribs that meet, or exceed, voluntary crib safety standards issued by the American Society for Testing and Materials. These standards are stricter and safer than the mandatory baby crib safety standards promulgated by the CPSC. Therefore, the safest baby cribs are those with JPMA certification. ![]()
