As the philanthropic arm of JPMA and the broader baby and children’s products industry, we support JPMA’s request for a tariff exclusion process for critical safety products like car seats and cribs. Part of our Foundation’s mission is to create better outcomes for infants and toddlers by reducing preventable injuries and deaths. This means ensuring our charitable partners and community organizations have access to affordable baby and children’s products. “Tariffs will mean higher costs for consumers, placing a heavy and unnecessary burden on families that will undoubtedly result in fewer babies and toddlers having access to products critical to their safety. The results can be devastating when families are forced to rely on secondhand or older products that do not meet current safety standards; makeshift alternatives that create risks; or even going without protective products at all,” said Lisa Trofe, executive director of JPMA and JPMA Cares.
