Tyler’s Law
Sponsored By: Representative Mace, Nancy [R-SC-1]
Introduced
Summary
Centralizes and standardizes reporting of child deaths and serious injuries tied to consumer products to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This bill would require hospitals and medical examiner or coroner offices to submit detailed written incident reports when they determine a child's death or serious injury is associated with a children's product or a durable infant or toddler product.
Show full summary
- Hospitals: Must file a written notice to the CPSC within 7 days after determining a child's death or serious injury is linked to a covered product. Reports must include the NEISS product code, incident date and location, child age and diagnoses, treatment status, and any related hospital reports.
- Medical examiner and coroner offices: Must submit similar reports to the CPSC within 7 days for child deaths tied to products. Failure to comply makes an office ineligible for a Department of Justice Medical Examiner Coroner Office Accreditation grant in the following fiscal year.
- Consumer safety and timing: The law would create a single federal data stream using NEISS product codes and defined terms like "child" (under 18). The reporting rules would apply to incidents occurring on or after 180 days after enactment, aiming for more consistent pediatric product-injury data.
