CPSC Creates New Rules For Infant And Child Product Manufacturers

After a rash of recalls involving dangerous products for toddlers and infants, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has made some changes that they hope will reduce the number of child injuries from defective products. Specifically, the changes will allow those who by baby products to keep in closer contact with the product manufacturer and vice versa.

The new rules, which were unanimously set in place last week by the CPSC, requires that manufacturers of certain infant and toddler products must include a postage-paid registration form with the product so that they have a list of people who bought the item in the event of a dangerous product recall. In addition, certain toddler and baby products will also be required to have their model number, product name, date, and company name printed clearly and permanently on the product itself in case of a dangerous toy injury or a defective product recall.

The list of baby products that will be affected by these new rules include full-size cribs and small cribs; toddler beds; high chairs, booster chairs, and hook-on chairs; bath seats; gates and other enclosures for confining a child; play yards; stationary activity centers; infant carriers; strollers; walkers; swings; bassinets and cradles; children’s folding chairs; changing tables; infant bouncers; infant bathtubs; portable toddler bed rails; and infant slings.

The rules will go into official effect for most products in 180 days – or about six months. A few products will not legally require registration forms for one year.
