As we prepare to celebrate the coming of a new year, we thought we would recap some of the safe sleep news from this past year. Make a commitment to help KID keep babies safe this year.

2010 was a big year for product safety news:
  • CPSC and FDA warn parents against the use of sleep positioners.
  • CPSC approves the toughest crib standard in the world.
  • University of California study shows increase in SIDS death on New Year’s.
  • Millions of cribs were recalled in 2010 for faulty hardware, failing drop-side mechanisms, weak side slats and failing mattress supports.
