SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
A. Statutory Tracking Label
Requirement
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission invites comments on
implementation of section 103 of the
CPSIA, Tracking Labels for Children’s
Products. Effective August 14, 2009,
section 103 of the CPSIA requires, to the
extent practicable, the placement of
permanent, distinguishing marks on
children’s products and packaging to
enable:
(A) The manufacturer to ascertain the
location and date of production of the
product, cohort information (including
the batch, run number, or other
identifying characteristic), and any
other information determined by the
manufacturer to facilitate ascertaining
the specific source of the product by
reference to those marks; and
(B) The ultimate purchaser to
ascertain the manufacturer or private
labeler, location and date of production
of the product, and cohort information
(including batch, run number, or other
identifying characteristic).
Public Law 110–314, sec. 103(a), 122
Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008). Under the
CPSIA, a ‘‘children’s product’’ is ‘‘a
consumer product designed or intended
primarily for children 12 years of age or
younger.’’ Id. sec. 235(a).
Section 103 of the CPSIA also amends
section 14(c) of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (‘‘CPSA’’) (15 U.S.C. 2063(c)),
which already authorizes the
Commission to require, by rule, the use
of traceability labels (including
permanent labels) where practicable, on
any consumer product. This section
allows the Commission to require labels
that may include these elements:
• Manufacturer or private labeler.
• Date and place of manufacture.
• Cohort information (including
batch, run number, or other identifying
characteristic) of the product.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
This same section provides that,
where traceability labels are required by
rule under CPSA section 14(c) and a
covered product is privately labeled, the
product must carry a code mark
permitting the seller to identify the
manufacturer upon a purchaser’s
request.
The Commission is aware of the
potential public interest in
implementing a tracking label approach
in close consultation with other national
and regional jurisdictions. To the extent
that a uniform approach can be
developed, consumers may be better
informed in the event of a recall.
Manufacturers also may have greater
certainty in identifying affected
products and production management
costs may be reduced, with possible
pricing benefits to consumers. The
Commission intends to draw from
responses to this request for comments
in its discussions on tracking label
policy with other national and regional
regulators.
B. Request for Comments
Given the spectrum of options
available to CPSC to implement the
tracking labeling requirement for
children’s products, the staff is
interested in comments and information
regarding:
1. The conditions and circumstances
that should be considered in
determining whether it is ‘‘practicable’’
to have tracking labels on children’s
products and the extent to which
different factors apply to including
labels on packaging.
2. How permitting manufacturers and
private labelers to comply with labeling
requirements with or without
standardized nomenclature, appearance,
and arrangement of information would
affect:
a. Manufacturers’ ability to ascertain
the location and date of production of
the product; and
b. Other business considerations
relevant to tracking label policy.
3. How consumers’ ability to identify
recalled items would be affected by
permitting manufacturers and private
labelers to comply with labeling
requirements with or without
standardized nomenclature, appearance,
and arrangement of information.
4. How, and to what extent, the
tracking information should be
presented with some information in
English or other languages, or whether
presentation should be without the use
of language (e.g., by alpha-numeric code
with a reference key available to the
public).
5. Whether there would be a
substantial benefit to consumers if
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
products were to contain tracking
information in electronically readable
form (to include optical data and other
forms requiring supplemental
technology), and if so, in which cases
this would be most beneficial and in
which electronic form.
6. In cases where the product is
privately labeled, by what means the
manufacturer information should be
made available by the seller to a
consumer upon request, e.g.:
Electronically via Internet, or toll-free
number, or at point of sale.
7. The amount of lead time needed to
comply with marking requirements if
the format is prescribed.
8. Whether successful models for
adequate tracking labels already exist in
other jurisdictions.
A study on possible product labeling
protocols ‘‘Feasibility Study: Postmanufacturing Traceability System
between the PRC and the EU, November
2008’’ may be found at the following
Web site: https://www.euchinawto.org/
index.php?option=com_content&
task=view&id=258&Itemid=1
(referenced here with permission). The
Commission does not necessarily
endorse or support any views or
conclusions in that study. However, the
document provides useful background
for discussion of traceability labeling
policies.
The Commission understands that
other jurisdictions plan to request
comments on tracking label policy in
the near future. On its Web site https://
www.cpsc.gov, CPSC will provide links
to Internet notices by other jurisdictions
as staff becomes aware of them.

Commission.
