- <p> The CERTIFIED sticker found on most strollers, carriages and
- children's furniture probably gives many parents peace of mind
- about a product's safety. But according to a Consumer Reports
- study, the seal of approval given by the Juvenile Products
- Manufacturing Association may be less than meets the eye. When
- the magazine tested 22 high chairs bearing the sticker, several
- of them failed to meet safety standards set by the association.
- Says Maura Bray, spokeswoman for the JPMA: "We still are
- investigating that claim. If there is a problem, I can guarantee
- it will be reconciled--quickly."
