Tips & Warnings
If you have a safety problem with your crib, immediately report it to the manufacturer and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Often they must receive a certain amount of complaints before they will take action so be sure to communicate your problem.
Be cautious if you decide to purchase a pre-owned crib. Older cribs may not meet today's safety standards.
