Abstract
On September 9, 2024, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to address the risk of death and injury associated with children ingesting or inserting in the nose or ear water bead toys by adding performance and labeling requirements for water bead toys or toys containing water beads. The Commission also made public incident data relied upon and referenced in the NPR. The NPR invited the public to submit written comments by November 8, 2024. On October 21, 2024, CPSC received a request to extend the comment period to provide stakeholders with time to review additional testing data. The Commission is extending the comment period for the NPR by 30 days.
