Mandatory Toy Safety Standards: Requirements for Neck Floats

This document covers two main topics:

1. Federal Register’s Unofficial XML Rendition:

• Discusses the legal status and proposed regulations surrounding the Federal Register’s unofficial XML version.
• Emphasizes that this version does not replace the official version and should not be used for legal research.

2. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Proposed Rulemaking:

• Focuses on the proposed regulations for neck floats, a type of aquatic toy that poses potential drowning hazards.
• The proposed rule seeks to establish mandatory safety standards, including stricter requirements and warning labels.
• The prototype version of the regulation on FederalRegister.gov remains unofficial until granted official legal status by the Administrative Committee.
• The rule aims to address specific hazards, such as children slipping through the neck float and submerging in water.

This document provides an in-depth look at these issues, clarifying the status of the Federal Register’s XML rendition and the ongoing efforts to ensure better safety standards for aquatic toys.
