    The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is seeking public comments on a new information collection request that involves a bathtub slip resistance study. This study aims to support the development of a voluntary safety standard for bathtubs and showers by measuring how slip-resistant they need to be. Participants will be recruited to step in and out of bathtubs while researchers measure the friction and movements of their feet. The objective is to prevent slip-related accidents, especially among older adults. Comments on this proposed study are open until March 7, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The CPSC wants to ask people what they think about a plan to study how slippery bathtubs are, so they can make them safer and prevent falls. They will pay people $100 to step in and out of bathtubs while checking how easily they might slip, especially to help older people avoid accidents.

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is conducting a new study on bathtub slip resistance to help develop safety standards for bathtubs and showers. This study aims to evaluate how slippery different bathtub surfaces are and will be conducted by Arizona State University in Phoenix. Participants will be monitored for how safely they can step in and out of wet and dry bathtub surfaces. The information gathered will be used to work on replacing an outdated safety standard for bathing surfaces, and participants will be compensated $100 for their time.

    Simple Explanation

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission wants to see how slippery different bathtub surfaces are, so they're doing a study with help from a university. They're doing this to make bathtubs safer, and people who help with the study will get $100 for their time.
