CFA, KID and CU Support CPSC’s Proposed Standard for Infant Bath Tubs

CFA TC

Infant bath tubs are more commonly used now that there are currently no infant bath seats made or sold in the United States that meet CPSC's mandatory standard. The biggest danger with any product used by infants and toddlers in water is drowning. While design can help direct more parental supervision, warnings are used to communicate the drowning risk directly. CFA supports the proposed additions to the ASTM standard in the warnings and instructions sections to increase the size of the text, require hazard color use on the product and packaging warnings, simplify and clarify language, add a warning on the risk of falls and specify the format of the warnings on the product, packaging and instructions.
