| 01-19072 | Baby Bath Seats and Rings; Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; Request for Comments and Information | Proposed Rule | The Commission has reason to believe that baby bath seats and rings, as currently designed, may present an unreasonable risk of injury. The Commission is aware of 78 deaths and 110 non-fatal incidents and complaints from January 1983 through May 2001 involving baby bath seats and rings. Forty-one of these non-fatal incidents/ complaints occurred when a caregiver was present. In July 2000, the Commission received a petition from the Consumer Federation of America and eight other organizations asking the Commission to ban baby bath seats. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking ("ANPR") initiates a rulemaking proceeding under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The Commission solicits written comments concerning the risks of injury associated with baby bath seats and rings, the regulatory alternatives discussed in this notice, other possible ways to address these risks, and the economic impacts of the various regulatory alternatives. The Commission also invites interested persons to submit an existing standard, or a statement of intent to modify or develop a voluntary standard, to address the risk of injury described in this notice. During the decision meeting, the Commission stated that the staff should undertake an aggressive, ongoing information and education initiative to inform new caregivers about the danger of leaving babies unattended in the bath or any source of water. The Commission solicits comments on this initiative. | 2001-08-01 | 2001 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/01/01-19072/baby-bath-seats-and-rings-advance-notice-of-proposed-rulemaking-request-for-comments-and-information | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-08-01/pdf/01-19072.pdf | Consumer Product Safety Commission | 84 | The Commission has reason to believe that baby bath seats and rings, as currently designed, may present an unreasonable risk of injury.
