CPSC Seeks Comment on Bassinet Safety
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking for public comment on a revised ASTM voluntary standard (the standard CPSC incorporated by reference for bassinets and cradles). If you use bassinets or cradles, you can submit feedback about whether the revision improves safety for babies.
Makers/Sellers May Be Affected Soon
ASTM revised the voluntary bassinet and cradle standard that CPSC currently incorporates by reference, and CPSC is asking whether the revision improves safety. If you make or sell bassinets and cradles, this revision and the CPSC review could affect your products or practices, so manufacturers and sellers are invited to comment.
