Safety Standard for Bassinets and Cradles; (40 page(s), in English)

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) - In 2013, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) published a safety standard for bassinets and cradles (bassinets/cradles). By statute, after promulgating a mandatory rule, the Commission must periodically review and revise rules for durable infant or toddler products to ensure that they provide the highest level of safety for such products that is feasible. Accordingly, this proposed rule (NPR) would revise the existing rule for bassinets/cradles to ensure that it addresses identified hazards and that these sleep products for young infants provide the highest level of safety feasible. The Commission is issuing this NPR to adopt ASTM F2194-22 with modifications. It is also proposing to align the rule's warnings with ASTM F2194-22 but not to include warnings related solely to compact bassinets. The NPR proposes to require warnings on all bassinets within the scope of the rule.
