Consumer Product Safety Commission
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) proposes to address the risk of injury and death associated with children ingesting button cell or coin cell batteries obtained from toys by adding performance and labeling requirements for battery- operated toys containing such batteries. The proposed requirements would provide the highest level of safety feasible, and are consistent with the Commission's recent Reese's Law rulemaking and international standards for electronic toys. The Commission also proposes to amend CPSC's list of notice of requirements (NORs) to include toys containing button cell or coin cell batteries.
