recently, consumer product safety commission (cpsc) released a draft called agency information collection activities -durable nursery products exposure survey. the survey will seek information regarding ownership characteristics, the life cycle of the products, and consumer behaviors and perceptions regarding such products.
on august 14,2008, the consumer product safety improvement act ("cpsia") (pl 110-314) was enacted. section 104 of the cpsia (referred to as the "the danny keysar child product safety notification act") (15 u.s.c. 2056a), requires the commission to study and develop safety standards for infant and toddler products. such durable infant and toddler products include, but are not limited to: full-size cribs and non full-size 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; and bassinets and cradles.
according to the paperwork reduction act of 1995 (“the pra”), federal agencies are required to publish notice in the federal register concerning each proposed collection of information and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. the related interested parties can submit comments to cpsc during the period.
