A 3750 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sale of crib bumpers.

This bill prohibits the sale of crib bumpers in New Jersey by classifying them as unsafe children's products under the state's Consumer Fraud Act. It directly affects retailers and sellers (commercial users) who handle crib bumpers, making it unlawful to sell, lease, or place them in commerce. The law defines crib bumpers as padded or vinyl materials covering crib sides to prevent injury or entrapment, excluding non-padded mesh liners. Violations carry fines up to $20,000 per offense. The bill amends existing law to add crib bumpers to the list of prohibited unsafe products, aligning with federal safety warnings about their risks.
