Eliminate obsolete dates for cribs
This bill updates Minnesota law to eliminate outdated date restrictions on crib safety regulations, ensuring that unsafe cribs remain prohibited regardless of when they were originally manufactured. It directly affects commercial users who sell or lease cribs, as well as operators of hotels, motels, and lodging establishments that provide cribs to guests. The key provision clarifies that cribs are considered unsafe if they do not meet current Consumer Product Safety Commission standards and specific ASTM International specifications for corner posts and structural integrity. The legislation also maintains an exemption for cribs not intended for infant use, provided sellers attach a written notice declaring the crib unsafe for infants.
