KID testified twice in support of Maryland’s ban on the sale of crib bumper pads.
With KID’s help, the ban became effective in June 2013.
On track in Maryland to enact a ban on crib bumpers.
KID Action Team is born!
We formed the KID Action Team in April 2013. We can now provide “boots on the ground” when legislation or policy is being considered to make sure policy makers and
CPSC hear our voices.

We hear stories of KID’s outreach inspiring change. Parents and caregivers are more active about safety.
I appreciated all of the wonderful information provided. It will make me more diligent about checking out all recall
information in the future. ---Caregiver, Dekalb Workshop, 11/26/2012“I will make sure to check online before purchasing a child
product from now on. Shocking to believe that it took 5 children to die for the play yard to be recalled.
---Participant, Tuesday’s Child Training, 3/15/2013
I have an infant at home and I will definitely register my products and will pass this resourceful information to my
loved ones. ---Parent, Easter Seals, 2/12/2012

An example of KID outreach: Community Baby Showers
KID has become a regular fixture at the biannual Community Baby Shower at Prentice Hospital in Chicago.

We released research findings that matter:
After examining incidents involving pacifiers on Saferproducts.gov, KID’s August 2012 report helped focus attention on the need to strengthen standards and testing for pacifiers.

In June 2012, KID released its Analysis of Magnet Related Injuries, highlighting the ever-present dangers from high-powered magnets. This research later became part of a larger study published in Clinical Pediatrics.
We helped develop a new standard on baby monitors
KID actively participated and helped frame a new voluntary standard on Baby Monitors.
This standard is intended to prevent strangulation deaths such as that of 10 month old Savannah.
