So the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has updated its standards for cribs and as of June 28th, 2011 is holding retailers accountable for making sure they only sell cribs that meet these standards.
Generally, I am an advocate of holding parents responsible, ie disciplining, monitoring etc (can't put the all the blame on tv, video games, teachers etc) but in this case, especially as a newbie soon to be parent who sometimes feels like she can barely keep her head above water - thinks it's awesome that when someone goes into a reputable retail store to purchase a crib, it will be a little less overwhelming.
Here's a link to the new standards and more info
