VN/ViệtnamOn April 3, 2020, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) regarding crib bumpers/liners in the Federal Register proposing to:
• Issue a safety standard for crib bumpers/liners;
• Amend 16 CFR 1130 to identify crib bumpers/liners as a durable infant or toddler product subject to CPSC consumer registration rules;
• Amend 16 CFR 1112 to add crib bumpers/liners to the list of children’s product safety rules for which the CPSC has issued an Notice of Requirements(NOR);
• Codify a new section “16 CFR 1240-safety standard for crib bumpers/liners” to be included under 16 CFR 1112 if this rule becomes final.
After detailed assessing, the Commission proposes to incorporate by reference the most recent voluntary standard ASTM F1917–12, Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Infant Bedding and Related Accessories, with modifications that would further reduce the risk of injury or death associated with crib bumpers. The proposed modifications are summarized below:
• Add a ‘‘crib bumper/liner’’ definition.
• Revise the crib bumper thickness requirement to apply to all crib bumpers and liners, and revise the test method by adding a minimum rate at which the bumper must pass through the test fixture and a surface finish requirement of 1.6 Ra for the text fixture.
• Add a crib bumper firmness requirement and test method.
• Add a crib bumper airflow requirement and test method.
• Replace the existing requirement for crib bumpers to be capable of being secured at certain locations with a new crib bumper attachment requirement and test method.
• Revise the strength requirement for crib bumper ties to apply to all attachment means, and add new strength requirements and test methods for decorative components and seams.
• Revise the crib bumper warning content, format, and placement requirements; add warning permanence requirements and test methods; and add a requirement for additional crib bumper markings.
• Add crib bumper instructional literature requirements.
The rule has a 75-days comment period until June 17, 2020. To allow time for crib bumper/liner manufacturers to bring their products into compliance after a Final Rule is issued, the Commission proposes that the rule would take effect 6 months after publication of the Final Rule in the Federal Register.
