"CARB Compliabt Baby Crib"

[Jim W]

I have a question for the TDR members who live in Calif. Why would CARB care about how a crib is made and used? Are they afraid that the baby will drag race in the crib and burn diesel fuel in them?

The reason I asked is we had to by a new baby crib this weekend for the third grand child since the old crib was 39 years old and I guess it did not conform to the latest FED safety standards. So my DW and I went to Target and bought a new GRACO baby crib for the granddaughter. On the box is a white sticker that states in big bold letters this crib conforms to “Phase II CARB Compliant”. What is with that?

I am a cabinetmaker in Cali and yes the libs pushed for this CARB 2 compliance deal more costly for us in this state

Yup, Ca is is slowly but surely choking the life out of every business here. 3+/- years to go- I'm counting the days.

if you cant sprinkle it on your cereal and eat it, they dont want you to be able to own or use it.
