Description

On 13 August 2024, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2137) to address the risks of death and injury associated with children ingesting button cell or coin cell batteries obtained from toys by adding performance and labeling requirements for battery- operated toys containing such batteries. The NPR invited the public to submit written comments during a 60-day comment period ending on 15 October 2024. Due to delay in releasing incident data supporting the NPR, the Commission is extending the comment period for this NPR by 30 days.The comment period for the proposed rule published, 13 August 2024, at 89 FR 65791, is extended.
