JBF Strict Standards

Cribs

Beginning on June 28, 2011, all cribs sold in the United States must meet the new federal requirements issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. After that date, it will be illegal to manufacture, sell, contract to sell or resell, lease, sublet, offer, provide for use, or otherwise place in the stream of commerce a crib that does not comply with the CPSC’s new standards for full-size and non-full-size cribs. This includes manufacturers, retail stores, internet retailers, resale shops, auction sites and consumers.


A crib that was manufactured between 7/23/10 and 6/28/11 may be compliant, but there must be a certificate of compliance (COC) from the crib’s manufacturer/retailer to show that the crib meets the new standards. The COC must state that the crib meets the following standards: 16 CFR 1219 or 16 CFR 1220.



Cribs - What You Should Know:

  • Cribs manufactured prior to July 23, 2010 cannot be sold or donated
  • Cribs manufactured between July 23, 2010 and June 28, 2011 can be sold or donated if a certificate of compliance is provided
  • Cribs cannot be sold or donated as toddler beds
  • Drop side, retrofitted, fixed and recalled cribs cannot be sold or donated
  • The CPSC will fine and/or prosecute anyone or any business not adhering to the new regulation

Cribs - What You Should Do:

  • ​Require a certificate of compliance from any Consignor selling a crib at JBF that was manufactured between July 23, 2010 and June 28, 2011 (Consignor must get this COC from the manufacturer or retailer, they cannot fill it out themselves). Cribs that require a COC must have a copy of the COC stapled to the Crib Checklist. ​Include the original COC with the sale of the crib

  • ​A Crib Checklist must be completed by the Consignor for every crib brought to the sale
  • ​Franchisee must keep the Crib Checklist for their records

  • ​Non-compliant cribs should not be resold, donated or given away. Immobilizing a drop side crib does not make it compliant. The CPSC recommends disposing of older, non-compliant cribs in a manner that the cribs cannot be reassembled and used. 

  • ​The standard applies to all full-size and non-full-size cribs including wood, metal and stackable cribs
