On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff published within the Federal Register a Direct Final Rule for 16 CFR Part 1225, Safety Standard for Hand-Held Infant Carriers. 16 CFR Part 1225 will now reference ASTM F2050-19, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Hand-Held Infant Carriers as mandatory with no modifications.
The previous version of the 16 CFR 1225 referenced the ASTM F2050-13a with one modification to the definition of a Hand-Held Infant Carrier. The modified definition for Hand-Held Infant Carrier is now incorporated into the 2019 version of the ASTM F2050.
This Direct Final Rule will become effective August 3, 2020 unless the CPSC receives any significant or adverse comments by June 19, 2020.
