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 The information gathered will be used to work on replacing an outdated safety standard for bathing surfaces, and participants will be compensated $100 for their time.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
