Safety Standard for Infant and Infant/Toddler Rockers; Supplemental Information; Notice of Availability and Request for Comment; Reopening of Comment Period

Résumé

In October 2023, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to address risks of death and injury associated with infant suffocations, falls, and other hazards associated with infant and infant/toddler rockers (rockers). On August 22, 2024, CPSC published a notice of availability and request for comment (NOA) 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 September 23, 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 November 7, 2024.
