The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a direct final rule to update safety standards for infant swings, effective April 3, 2021. This update incorporates changes from ASTM's revised safety specification, ASTM F2088-20, which became the new mandatory standard for infant swings. These revisions aim to improve swing safety by addressing issues like proper seat angle measurements and tethered strap length to prevent entanglement hazards. The rule includes revised marking, labeling, and instructions to provide consistent and clear safety information.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is issuing a correction to a rule about safety standards for non-full-size baby cribs, which was originally published on January 31, 2025. This correction involves updating references to the voluntary standard ASTM F406-24, which is used in setting these rules, by excluding specific sections that do not exist. The correction will take effect on April 5, 2025, unless significant objections are received by February 28, 2025. This correction ensures the rule accurately aligns with the latest version of the voluntary standard.
