After dozens of deaths, drop-side cribs outlawed

[UnWantedTheory]

Stinger, do you believe that we are en led to be 100% safe from all retail items? Out of the billions of items sold annually, isn't it possible that some are either misused, or defective? I don't mean to sound cold about this, but 32 deaths in what. A decade?

I simply do not believe in achieving 100.000000000% safety.

The ban isn't practical at all. I am not sure why we dont adjust the standards of the plastic & wrap the damn things in assembly warnings. To recall millions? My son & all of my nephews & nieces were raised in drop side cribs. I think this to be a bit drastic. Just MO.

Simply more encroachment of the nanny state.

Please tell us old wise one. Give us all the facts.

RG said it best. A product that has 99.999999 safety record has been banned. Pretty nuts!! Lets ban cars next.

Well, its not like the government doesn't mandate safety features to be included in cars as time goes by. I don't recall you having a tantrum when the NHTSA mandated airbags in cars.

the NHTSA and all the federally mandated bull . A ing 1 ton work truck now costs $50,000 because of all the bull . They have doubled in price in 10 years.
