Approval of Final Rule: Safety Standard for Crib Mattresses

Today, we fixed a long-standing gap in safety standards for baby products. We’ve long known that the safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back, on a firm, flat surface, with nothing else cluttering the space.  But until today CPSC did not have safety standards for the one item left in the baby’s sleep space—the mattress.  Babies will be safer because of CPSC’s rule to improve crib mattress safety.
