New tariffs on imported baby products are causing panic among American parents and businesses. With 90% of baby products manufactured in Asia, primarily China, prices are expected to surge. Parents are rushing to buy necessities before prices increase significantly, while businesses like Munchkin have halted orders and implemented hiring freezes. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association requested a tariff exemption, but the White House hasn't responded. Small businesses fear the increased costs will make essential products unaffordable for many families, impacting child safety.
