injuries caused by faulty or damaged
nursery equipment is equally large.
Cribs. stroUers, walkers, playpens. and
carnages are the most dangerous pieces
because they are the items most fre
quentiy used.
Most consumers are aware of safety
features on new items, they may over
look unsafe features on their old or
borrowed furniture
Lead paint, torn or worn seat belts,
rough edges and finishes seem to be the
main safety problems with older equip
ment.

older furniture can be easily taken cart- of

effort.
