Consumer Product Safety Commission July 19, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA''), authorizes the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission,'' ``CPSC,'' or ``we'') to specify, by rule, for any consumer product or class of consumer products, characteristics whose existence or absence shall be deemed a substantial product hazard under certain circumstances. We are issuing a final rule to determine that children's upper outerwear garments in sizes 2T to 12 or the equivalent, which have neck or hood drawstrings, and in sizes 2T to 16 or the equivalent, which have waist or bottom drawstrings that do not meet specified criteria, present substantial product hazards.
