Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Possible Revocation or Amendment of Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Cigarette Ignition)
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC'' or ``Commission'') is considering revoking or amending its existing standard for the flammability of mattresses and mattress pads (16 CFR part 1632). The Commission recently proposed a new standard addressing the flammability of mattresses. Several commenters have suggested that if and when the new standard takes effect, continuing the cigarette ignition standard would be burdensome and unnecessary. With this advance notice of proposed rulemaking, the Commission begins to assess the need for continuing the existing mattress standard. The Commission invites comments concerning the risk of injury identified in this notice, the regulatory alternatives being considered, and other possible alternatives. The Commission also invites submission of any existing standard or statement of intention to modify or develop a voluntary standard to address cigarette ignition of mattresses and mattress pads.
