The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is seeking public comments on a revised safety standard for stationary activity centers, originally referenced by the ASTM F2012-18ε1 standard. The new standard, ASTM F2012-2024, has been updated by ASTM, and CPSC is evaluating its impact on product safety. The public has until February 4, 2025, to submit their comments. The revision and its potential to improve safety are being assessed under the guidelines of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. team that makes sure our toys are safe wants to hear what people think about new rules for a special kind of toy called stationary activity centers, which help kids play in place. They have changed the rules a bit to make them safer and want to know if everyone thinks that's true—people can share their thoughts until February 4, 2025.
