This allows some portions of the lower side to be elevated over the mattress and presents an increased chance of being entangled. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates the 2023 revision based on the current mandatory standards under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for sturdy baby or toddler products which have been used for longer than 180 days and is expected to reduce the risk of injuries.
