USA - Safety Standard for Toys - Requirements for Toys Containing Button Cell or Coin Cell Batteries

​Notice of proposed rulemaking - 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.
