The proposed rule would incorporate by reference the voluntary standard for high chairs into 16 CFR part 1231 and impose more stringent requirements for rearward stability and warnings on labels and in instructional literature. In addition, the notice proposes to amend 16 CFR part 1112 to include proposed 16 CFR part 1231 in the list of notice of requirement issued by the Commission.
