It is now illegal to sell a used crib
It's a $100k fine for selling a drop side crib. Since very crib made in the US in the last, what, 20 years has been a drop side crib, it is now illegal to sell a used crib. That applies to garage sales even.
One cannot help but wonder what lobbying group, if any, pushed this legislation.

If you would talk to some parents of children that died... or had fingers, limbs amputated as infants... perhaps you would not be so skeptical of the reasons behind this....

Probably a good law/regulation. Now - who is going to enforce it?

When I was just a wee lad back in the very early Sixtie's, I occupied a car seat that was "secured" solely by a pair of J shaped metal brackets that allowed it to hook over the front seat back. This design was very commonplace back then, and was very convenient for my parents, as I was essentially sitting between them. This was also very convenient for windshield manufacturers, as it made me a rocket on the launch pad, ready to blast off if my father had the bad taste to t-bone a '58 Continental at an intersection, and the seat backs in our two-door sedan tilted forward.
Sometimes a quaint, time-honored design just isn't a very good one, and should be retired before it does more harm. |

a very simple metaphor of why we will never reduce government. I wonder if the Romans had a similar law in the 3rd centrury, not that its bad, but its one more on the pile

Kuan . . . if you see a set of gently used lawn darts at your local garage sales . . .
It's a violation of federal law to resell recalled products. There are likely civil liability issues for giving recalled products away if it results in injury and the giver knew of the danger and did not properly disclose it. |

Can either of these items be worth any money since it's illegal to sell them? Is it illegal to barter them? |

I've got that too. And my house is clad in asbestos shingles.
I haven't tested the paint but I'm sure it's got lead. |
