Safety Standard for Toddler Beds

View Comment

I support this proposed regulation and offer the following comments: Considering that a number of accidents occurred from loose or missing parts, according to information provided by No. CPSC-2010-0022, RIN 3041-AC79. The ability for a consumer to accurately assemble a toddler bed should be given attention. I know that instructions can be vague and that required piece can be missing or there can be additional assembly components added. Resulting in confusion as to why there are, for example, extra screws left over. The ASTM F 1821-09 voluntary standard contains requirements addressing a number of hazards. The requirements state that instructions must be provided with the bed. I offer the following rewording of requirement 12 to read accurate instructions must be provided with the bed. The rewording would hopefully result in more attention given to product safety as well as safe assembly.
