In other words, the new standards will apply not only to manufactures, importers, distributors and retailers of cribs, but also to businesses that use cribs such as childcare facilities and hotels.  Both new and used cribs are included, so secondhand stores, and garage salers for that matter, are also unable to sell non-compliant cribs, whether or not they have been recalled.]]></description>
