New Jersey A4196 bans the sale of crib bumpers by defining them as unsafe children's products.

New Jersey A4196 amends the consumer fraud act (CFA) to prohibit the sale of crib bumpers by classifying them as unsafe children's products. The CFA already prohibits commercial users from placing unsafe children's products in the stream of commerce. A crib bumper is defined as any material covering crib sides to prevent injury or entrapment, including padded bumpers, vinyl bumper guards, and vertical slat covers, but excluding non-padded mesh liners. This bill ensures that crib bumpers are deemed unsafe, making their sale illegal.
