Comments on Section 104 Durable Infant Product Registration

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“Commission” or “CPSC”) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPR”) published on June 29, 2009 (74 FR 30983) regarding proposed 16 CFR Part 1130. This proposed rule addresses Requirements for Consumer Registration of Durable Infant or Toddler Products under Section 104(d) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (“CPSIA”). Section 104 of the CPSIA directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“Commission” or “CPSC”) to establish a rule requiring manufacturers of durable infant or toddler products to provide consumers with registration forms with each such product, to keep records of consumers’ contact information and to permanently mark their products with identifying information.
