In the Federal Register of December 29, 2003 (68 FR 74878), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'') published a notice of proposed rulemaking under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (``FHSA'') to reduce the unreasonable risk of injury associated with bath seats. On August 14, 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'') was enacted. Section 104(b) of the CPSIA requires the Commission to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products, which are to be ``substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards (or more stringent requirements if they would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product).

Revocation of Regulation Banning Certain Baby-Walkers, Walker-Jumpers, and Similar Products
Document Number: E9-20945
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2009-09-03
Agency: Consumer Product Safety Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') is proposing to revoke certain regulations pertaining to baby-bouncers, walker-jumpers, baby-walkers, and similar products. CPSC is taking this action because the regulations, which originally were issued in 1971, are outdated and do not provide the degree of safety that is provided by currently manufactured baby-walkers that comply with a more effective voluntary standard. This action also will eliminate confusion about whether manufacturers should certify that their products comply with these regulations or with a new mandatory safety standard for baby-walkers proposed elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
