CPSC Wants Your Take on Toddler Bed Safety Tweaks
Published Date: 3/11/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking for your thoughts on updates to the safety rules for toddler beds. These changes come from a new version of the voluntary safety standard and aim to make toddler beds safer for kids. If you have ideas or concerns, send your comments by March 25, 2026—this could affect manufacturers and parents but won’t cost extra money.

Revised standard may become mandatory
ASTM notified CPSC on March 2, 2026 that it published ASTM F1821-26. If the Commission does not reject the revision within 90 days, the revised voluntary standard will be treated as a mandatory consumer product safety standard 180 days after notification (i.e., August 29, 2026), or on a later date the Commission specifies. The notice states the revision could affect manufacturers and parents and will not cost extra money.
Public comment deadline for revision
You can submit comments on the revised toddler bed voluntary standard (ASTM F1821-26). Comments must be received by March 25, 2026 and should reference Docket No. CPSC-2017-0012; CPSC is inviting input on whether the revision improves toddler bed safety.
