Consumer Federation of America and Consumer Groups Submit Comment Regarding Proposed CPSC Bassinet Rule

CFA, Kids In Danger, and Infant Sleep submitted a comment regarding the CPSC’s proposed rule for bassinets. Caregivers and parents trust that products made for their children have been tested and proven safe, but this is not always the case. For decades, consumer and parent groups have advocated for safer infant sleep products. CPSC staff identified seven fatalities and 13 injuries related to bassinets/cradles from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2022. CPSC staff also identified at least 182 non-injury incidents from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022. CFA and the consumer groups support the proposed change, which will mitigate the hazards CPSC staff has identified, and also urged the CPSC to evaluate additional safety issues.
