Description

Notice of proposed rulemaking - As required by Reese's Law, to eliminate or adequately reduce 
the risk of injury from ingestion of button cell or coin batteries by 
children 6 years old and younger, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety 
Commission (CPSC or Commission) proposes a rule to establish 
performance requirements for battery compartments on consumer products 
that contain, or are designed to use, one or more button cell or coin 
batteries. The proposed rule also requires warning labels on the 
packaging of button cell or coin batteries, as well as on the 
packaging, battery compartments, and accompanying instructions and 
manuals of consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries. 
In addition to implementing Reese's Law, the proposed rule requires 
manufacturers and importers of button cell or coin batteries, and 
consumer products containing such batteries, to notify consumers of 
performance and technical data related to the safety of such batteries 
at the point of sale, both online and in stores. If the rule is 
finalized, consumer products subject to the rule must be tested and 
certified as compliant with the rule.>_x000D_
