CPSC Staff Recommends Specific Registration Form for Durable Infant/Toddler Goods

(World Trade Interactive)

The Consumer Product Safety Commission will vote May 28 on a staff recommendation for a proposed rule requiring manufacturers of durable infant or toddler products to provide consumers with registration forms with each such product. The rule would also require manufacturers to (a) maintain a record of the names, addresses, e-mail addresses and other contact information of consumers who register their ownership of such products in order to improve the effectiveness of recall efforts and (b) permanently place their name and contact information, model name and number, and date of manufacture on each covered product.
