Background On January 10, 2022, the Commission published an NPR in the Federal Register, proposing to issue a safety standard for magnets under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C. 2051–2089), and seeking written PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 comments. 87 FR 1260. The proposed rule seeks to address the risk of injury or death associated with magnet ingestions, by requiring loose or separable magnets in subject magnet products to be either too large to swallow, or weak enough to reduce the risk of internal interaction injuries when swallowed. The proposed rule would apply to ‘‘subject magnet products,’’ which are consumer products that are designed, marketed, or intended to be used for entertainment, jewelry (including children’s jewelry), mental stimulation, stress relief, or a combination of these purposes, and that contain one or more loose or separable magnets. The NPR proposed a rule to require each loose or separable magnet in a subject magnet product that fits entirely within CPSC’s small parts cylinder (described in 16 CFR 1501.4) to have a flux index of less than 50 kG2 mm2. Toys that are subject to CPSC’s mandatory toy standard in 16 CFR part 1250 are exempt from the proposed rule.

    On January 10, 2022, the Commission published an NPR in the Federal 
Register, proposing to issue a safety standard for magnets under the 
Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA; 15 U.S.C. 2051-2089), and seeking 
written comments. 87 FR 1260. The proposed rule seeks to address the 
risk of injury or death associated with magnet ingestions, by requiring 
loose or separable magnets in subject magnet products to be either too 
large to swallow, or weak enough to reduce the risk of internal 
interaction injuries when swallowed. The proposed rule would apply to 
``subject magnet products,'' which are consumer products that are 
designed, marketed, or intended to be used for entertainment, jewelry 
(including children's jewelry), mental stimulation, stress relief, or a 
combination of these purposes, and that contain one or more loose or 
separable magnets. The NPR proposed a rule to require each loose or 
separable magnet in a subject magnet product that fits entirely within 
CPSC's small parts cylinder (described in 16 CFR 1501.4) to have a flux 
index of less than 50 kG\2\ mm\2\. Toys that are subject to CPSC's 
mandatory toy standard in 16 CFR part 1250 are exempt from the proposed 
rule. The NPR is available at: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-01-10/pdf/2021-27826.pdf, and CPSC staff's briefing package for 
the NPR is available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Proposed-Rule-Safety-Standard-for-Magnets.pdf?VersionId=2Xizl5izY1OvQRVazWpkqdJHXg5vzRY.
