Munchkin, a well-known baby product manufacturer, faces significant challenges due to new tariffs imposed on imports from China, which have risen to 145%. Founder Steve Dunn highlights the detrimental effects of these tariffs, stating they have forced the juvenile products industry to stop ordering from China altogether. This situation jeopardizes the availability of essential items for parents and has led to job cuts within the company. Dunn also notes the struggle with bringing production to the U.S. due to lack of manufacturing expertise and skilled labor, exacerbating the issue for American families.
These tariffs are having devastating real-life consequences, forcing us to halt orders, cut jobs and may soon prevent us from delivering essential baby products to parents nationwide.
Due to the complete absence of necessary tooling and manufacturing expertise, automation, and skilled labor, Munchkin has been unable to bring production to the U.S.
