2、. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis consumer safety specification addresses incidents associated with non-full-size cribs/play yardsthat were identified by the U.

3、S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).Incidents identified by the CPSC and addressed in this standard include asphyxiation due toentrapment in mesh drop side units left with a side down, strangulation by entanglement on protrudinghardware, strangulation by button entrapment in mesh openings,

4、strangulation due to failure of thecenter hinge on a top rail, collapse or failure of the locking devices, collapse of the floor or sides, andchoking on vinyl bitten from the top rail. This specification also addresses wooden non-full-size cribinjuries or deaths due to entanglement on corner post ex

5、tensions, dislodgment of slats resulting frombreakage or failure of glue joints, collapse of mattress support, detachment of screws, dislodgementof teething rails, and entanglement on cords or strings.This specification is not intended to cover non-full-size cribs/play yards that are either blatantl

6、ymisused or abused. This specification is written within current state-of-the-art of non-full-sizecrib/play yard technology and is intended to be updated if substantive information becomes availablethat necessitates additional requirements or justifies revision of existing requirements.1.

33、such as abassinet or changing table that attaches to a non-full sizecrib/play yard and that, because of its structure, location, ormovement, may expose a non-full size crib/play yard occupantto an opening presenting an entrapment hazard. It does notinclude: (1) items that hang outside the occupant a
