The Consumer Product Safety Commission is extending the comment period on its proposed mandatory safety standard for recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) (here). Under the proposed rule, issued in November (see 1411180014), ROVs would have to meet lateral stability and vehicle handling requirements, have vehicle speed limits when seat belts are unfastened, and include a barrier or structure to prevent the ejection of an occupant in the event of a rollover. Comments on the proposed rule are now due April 8.

Safety Advocates Ask for Mandatory Safety Standard on Residential Elevators
January 23, 2015 |Consumer Product Safety Commission

Safety advocates have filed a petition with the Consumer Product Safety Commission asking the agency to set a mandatory standard on residential elevators, said CPSC in a Jan. 22 Federal Register notice (here). According to the petition filed by The Safety Institute, Carol Pollack-Nelson, and law firm Cash Krugler, excessive space between the doors of many home elevators can allow children to stick their head through, resulting in crushing injuries. They ask that CPSC issue a mandatory standard setting a maximum distance between the interior and exterior doors of residential elevators. Comments on the petition are due March 23.
