SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On July 22, 2026, the Commission published a direct final rule in the
Federal Register
that would remove two obsolete rules concerning infant bouncer seats and stationary activity centers because those products are subject to newer, more comprehensive mandatory safety standards issued by the Commission. 91 FR 45992. The Commission indicated in the direct final rule that if it received a significant adverse comment, the Commission would withdraw any portion of the direct final rule related to such a comment. The Commission received a significant adverse comment concerning the direct final rule and thus is withdrawing the direct final rule.[1]
The Commission will consider the significant adverse comment and assess the appropriate manner in which to proceed in this matter.
