Registering a pushchair sale (simply click the following webpage)

Safety

Even if the baby's item has been used only for some months, it could still be risky. That's because, unlike new products, secondhand items aren't required to be registered with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. There's no way of knowing whether a product has been recalled. Recalls can be triggered by many reasons, such as defects in design or manufacturing defect that doesn't conform to federal standards. If you purchase a new stroller, however, you'll have the option to register it and be informed of any recalls that may occur.

This rule implements a normative standard that is mandatory for strollers and other carriages, pursuant to Section 104 of the Danny Keysar Act on Child Product Safety Notifications, as modified by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA). It incorporates in its reference to the most current voluntary standard created by the American Society for Testing and best Pushchair Materials (ASTM), ASTM F833-13b, and establishes requirements and test methods to reduce the hazards presented by these products. CPSC staff worked closely with ASTM stakeholders to develop this standard.
