Title: Infant Pillow Ban 
Abstract:

The Commission has established an Infant Pillow Ban (16 CFR part 1500.18(a)(16)), which bans infant pillows with all of the following characteristics: (1) a flexible fabric covering, (2) loosely filled with a granular material such as plastic foam beads or pellets, (3) easily flattened, (4) capable of conforming to the body or face of an infant, and (5) intended or promoted for the use by children under one year of age. In fiscal year 2023, staff intends to submit to the Commission a briefing package recommending issuance of a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) regarding expanding the ban to include certain hazardous infant pillows currently allowed in the marketplace.
