Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses crib incidents that were identified by the U.S.Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).CPSC receiv

3、ed reports of strangulations incidents associated with crib corner post extensions andincidents concerning failure of crib hardware and other structural components of cribs that alsoresulted in fatalities.In response to the incident data collected by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification atte

4、mptsto minimize the risk of injury or death due to: failure of mattress support hardware, failure of gluedor bolted connections, side latch failure, and dislodgment of teething rails. This safety specificationalso addresses incidents associated with poor maintenance or assembly by means of requireme

Scope1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes perfor-mance requirements and test procedures to determine thestructural integrity of full-size cribs. It also contains designrequirements addressing entanglement on

For example, a changing table that attachesto a crib shall also comply with the applicable requirements inConsumer Safety Specification F2388. This specification doesnot cover inflatable products.1.2 No crib p
