Abstract
Although regulations exist for cribs, they remain to be the number one juvenile product for juvenile death. Working in coordination with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), we researched aspects of this problem with our focus being on crib hardware, the human aspects of crib use and the economic factors surrounding cribs. We made recommendations to the CPSC on how to improve crib safety.
