Juvenile Products: U.S. CPSC Finalizes Nursing Pillow Rule

On October 25, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has finalized the rule on the Safety Standard for Nursing Pillows to establish mandatory performance and labeling requirements for nursing pillows.

The mandatory consumer product safety standard for nursing pillows is “substantially the same as” ASTM F3669—24 because it includes similar performance and labeling/instructional material requirements. However, portions of the CPSC mandatory standard are more stringent than the ASTM voluntary standard, as these requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the use of nursing pillows. This rule also amends its regulations regarding third-party conformity assessment bodies to include the safety standard for nursing pillows in the list of notices of requirements (NORs), along with identifying nursing pillows as a durable infant or toddler product subject to consumer registration requirements.

This rule will become effective April 23, 2025.
