Title: Play Yard and Play Yard Mattresses Petitions | |
Abstract:
On November 29, 2021, Carol Pollack-Nelson, Ph.D., Sarah B. Newens, M.S., and Alan H. Schoem, Esq. (collectively, "Petitioners"), submitted to the Commission Secretary: (1) a Petition to Require Minimum Thickness for Play Yard Mattresses (Mattress Thickness Petition), and (2) a Petition to Standardize the Size of Play Yards and Play Yard Mattresses (Play Yard Size Petition)(collectively petitions). The petitions seek a rulemaking to amend the Commission’s regulation, Safety Standard for Play Yards, 16 CFR part 1221, to address the hazards of infants suffocating from soft bedding added to play yard sleep environment and infants becoming entrapped between the edge of a play yard and the play yard mattress and suffocating (gap entrapment hazard). CSPC docketed the Mattress Thickness Petition as petition CP 22-1 and docketed the Play Yard Size Petition as CP 22-2. On May 19, 2022, the Commission published notice of the petitions in the Federal Register. The comment period on the petitions ended on July 18, 2022. On March 29, 2023, staff submitted to the Commission a briefing package with recommendations to deny the petitions. On April 4, 2023, the Commission voted to deny the petitions. |
