View Rule

On October 19, 2016, the Commission voted to initiate rulemaking under section 104 ofthe Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) to promulgate a mandatory consumer product safety standard that will address the risk of injury associated with the use of padded crib bumpers. Specifically, the Commission directed CPSC staff to prepare a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) briefing package, to be completed in FY 2018.  In addition, on May 25, 2016, the Commission voted to grant petition CP 15-2 and directed staff to initiate a rulemaking under section 104 of the CPSIA to promulgate a standard that will address the risk of injury associated with the use of crib mattresses and to amend the product registration card rule accordingly. As part of the promulgation of rules for these products under section 104 of the CPSIA, the Commission must amend 16 CFR 1130, Requirements for Consumer Registration of Durable Infant or Toddler Products, in order to specifically identify these covered products.
