Briefs & Charts

CPSC Future: Commissioner Alexander Hoehn-Saric wrote a June 27 opinion piece in The Hill titled "Don't Make Me the Last Chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission." It opposes (bit.ly/44Culw1) the plan to merge CPSC into HHS and describes how product safety work could be neglected due to focus on concerns like "a revamp of the Medicare system" and less certain funding due to "whims" of an HHS secretary.

 

Infant Walkers: CPSC June 26 unilaterally said to stop using and dispose of NVW units because they can fit through doors and leg openings can let infants slip down. Chinese seller Qingbaijiangenkeoubaihuojingyingbu(dba NVW US) has not agreed to a recall or remedy. About 1,825 sold on Amazon for $76-$130 in May 2024 to April 2025.

 

Infant Walkers: CPSC June 26 unilaterally said to stop using and dispose of Qizhi-Bear units because they can fit through doors, do not stop at stair edges, and have leg openings that let infants slip down. Chinese seller Qingdaohuanzhuyougudianzishangwuyouxiangongsi (dba Huanzhuyougu) has not agreed to a recall or remedy. About 1,600 sold on Amazon for $70-$165 in September 2023 to March 2025.

 

Immersion Heaters: CPSC June 26 unilaterally said to stop using and dispose of Laboomkey RDK, RDKL, RDK-H and HT2000W models due igniting if not fully submerged. CPSC knows of 81 incidents with 31 fires. Chinese importer Changsha Yiruituo is unwilling to recall. They sold on Amazon for $35 in May 2023 to May 2025.

 

Toy Sets: CPSC June 26 unilaterally said to stop using and dispose of ST-012s Nativity Advent Calendars according to local hazardous waste procedures. They have accessible button batteries. Chinese seller Shenzhenshiyufandianzishangwuyouxiangongsi (dba Shipeng Zhuo) has not agreed to a recall or remedy. They sold on Amazon for $37 in August 2024 to March 2025.

 

Awnings: The House June 23 by voice vote passed HR 1767 to direct CPSC to set requirements for freestanding, retractable designs. It is with the Senate.

 

CPSC Priorities: July 9 is the date to ask to speak at or to file comments for the July 16 hearing on FY2025 and FY2027. See details at bit.ly/46cyGar. The session has moved twice (from May and August) related to the orders to fire commissioners.

 

Garage Doors: August 22 is the deadline to give CPSC input on OMB reapproval for information collection related to requirements for automatic residential openers. See bit.ly/44157Y4. Approval is a Paperwork Reduction Act activity.

 

JPMA: The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association June 24 announced its name change to the Baby Safety Alliance. The URL JPMA.org now redirects to babysafetyalliance.org. Learn more at bit.ly/3Gh7Sve.
