The attached comments from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) expresses our support for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) "Safety Standard for Toys: Requirements for Water Beads" (docket number: CPSC Docket No. CPSC-2024-0027). The AAP appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on this important children's health issue.

Abstract

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) mandates that ASTM F963 shall be a mandatory toy safety standard. This safety standard sets forth requirements for water bead toys and toys that contain water beads. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) proposes to establish additional performance and labeling requirements for these products. The Commission also proposes to amend CPSC’s list of notice of requirements (NORs) to include water bead toys and toys that contain water beads.
