Revocation of Obsolete Rules Regarding Infant Bouncer Seats and Stationary Activity Centers

Tradução automática local · Idioma original da fonte

Resumo

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is reviewing its regulations to reduce regulatory burdens and costs. Pursuant to this review, CPSC has identified two rules concerning infant bouncer seats and stationary activity centers that are now obsolete because those products are subject to newer, more comprehensive mandatory safety standards issued by the Commission. This direct final rule removes the obsolete provisions to eliminate unnecessary duplication and improves regulatory clarity for manufacturers, testing laboratories, regulators, and the public. This action does not eliminate or reduce any mandatory federal safety standard applicable to infant bouncer seats or stationary activity centers. Both product categories will remain subject to the Commission's mandatory safety standards.

Request for Information Regarding Consumer Product Recall Fraud

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is requesting information on fraudulent or abusive conduct associated with the redemption of consumer product recall remedies (recall fraud). Recall fraud may undermine the effectiveness of recalls, increase compliance costs for firms, distort recall performance data, and reduce consumer participation in corrective action plans. This information- gathering effort is intended to inform the Commission's ongoing work to improve recall effectiveness and reduce unnecessary burdens associated with the administration of recall programs. Through this Request for Information, the Commission seeks input on the scope of recall fraud, its impact on recall effectiveness, and potential approaches to mitigate such conduct while preserving consumer access to effective recall remedies.

Notice of Commission Determination Regarding Technological Feasibility of Lead Content Reduction

As required by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) has evaluated whether to revise lead limits for children's products and paints or similar surface-coating materials, including toys and other articles intended for use by children and furniture articles for consumer use, that bear lead-containing paint. The Commission has determined that current regulations already require the lowest amount of lead that is technologically feasible to achieve. Therefore, the Commission is not revising these lead limits at this time.

Withdrawal of Final Guidance for Estimating Value per Statistical Life

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is withdrawing its Final Guidance for Estimating Value per Statistical Life, published in the Federal Register on April 18, 2024. After further review, the Commission has determined that the methodology assigning a Value per Statistical Life (VSL) for individuals under 18 years of age at twice the VSL for adults creates significant legal, analytical, and policy issues. These issues include misalignment with prevailing federal guidance of VSL, methodological deficiencies in the supporting evidence, heightened litigation risk, and the appearance of improperly inflating benefits in order to support desired regulatory outcomes. The Commission is returning to its prior VSL methodology, which is consistent with methodologies used by other federal agencies, and committing to a process that is empirically supported, analytically rigorous, legally defensible, and publicly credible.

Safety Standard for Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Micromobility Products and Electrical Systems of Micromobility Products Containing Such Batteries

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issues this notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to address the unreasonable risk of death and injury associated with lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility products due to hazards such as thermal runaway of lithium cells, which can lead to fires, explosions, gas releases, burns, overheating, and smoke inhalation. The NPR proposes that electrical systems using lithium-ion batteries in micromobility products comply with applicable voluntary standards, with modifications. Because some micromobility products are children's products requiring third party testing, the NPR also proposes to add this rule to the list of rules that require such testing.
