Safety Standard for Infant and Infant/Toddler Rockers

Proposed rule; reopening of comment period - In October 2023, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2061) to address risks of death and injury associated with infant suffocations, falls, and other hazards associated with infant and infant/toddler rockers (rockers). On 22 August 2024, CPSC published a notice of availability and request for comment (NOA) (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2061/Add.1) to announce the availability of, and to seek comment on, details about incident data relevant to the NPR. The NOA also sought comment on a standard tessellation language (STL) file for a firmness test fixture proposed in the NPR, and an amended version of the voluntary standard for rockers. The NOA invited the public to submit written comments during a 30-day comment period, beginning on the NOA publication date and ending on 23 September 2024. In response to a request for a 90-day extension of the NOA comment period, the Commission is reopening the comment period. Comments are now due 7 November 2024.

The comment period for the proposed rule published 22 August 2024, at 89 FR 67917, is reopened. Submit comments by 7 November 2024.
