CPSC Considering Second Petition on Traction Labeling for Floor Coverings

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is again considering additional labeling requirements for floor coverings. CPSC in May received a second petition from the National Floor Safety Institute to require that floor coverings for sale to consumers be labeled to provide information about the traction of each product. CPSC rejected a similar petition from the group in December 2016. Comments are due Aug. 6.
