Safety Standard for Bassinets and Cradles
Direct final rule - In 2013, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a consumer product safety standard for bassinets and cradles under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The standard incorporated by reference ASTM F2194-13, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Bassinets and Cradles, with modifications to make the standard more stringent. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard, when a voluntary standards organization revises the standard. Consistent with the CPSIA update process, this direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for bassinets and cradles to incorporate by reference ASTM's 2025 version of the voluntary standard. The rule is effective on 21 February 2026, unless the Commission receives a significant adverse comment by 12 January 2026. If the Commission receives such a comment, it will publish a document in the Federal Register, withdrawing this direct final rule before its effective date. The incorporation by reference of certain material listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 21 February 2026. 90 Federal Register (FR) 57691, 12 December 2025; Title 16 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1218: This direct final rule and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/538 are identified by Docket Number CPSC-2010-0028.

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) - In 2013, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) published a safety standard for bassinets and cradles (bassinets/cradles). By statute, after promulgating a mandatory rule, the Commission must periodically review and revise rules for durable infant or toddler products to ensure that they provide the highest level of safety for such products that is feasible. Accordingly, this proposed rule (NPR) would revise the existing rule for bassinets/cradles to ensure that it addresses identified hazards and that these sleep products for young infants provide the highest level of safety feasible. The Commission is issuing this NPR to adopt ASTM F2194-22 with modifications. It is also proposing to align the rule's warnings with ASTM F2194-22 but not to include warnings related solely to compact bassinets. The NPR proposes to require warnings on all bassinets within the scope of the rule.

Safety Standard for Bassinets and Cradles: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (15 pages, English)
Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These standards are to be substantially the same as applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The Commission is proposing a more stringent safety standard for bassinets and cradles that will further reduce the risk of injury associated with these products.
