What is CPSIA section 104?

Section 104 of CPSIA — known as the Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act — required the CPSC to adopt mandatory safety standards for durable infant or toddler products, substantially matching the voluntary ASTM standards plus any stricter requirements the Commission found necessary. It is the reason cribs, strollers, infant swings, carriers, bath seats, gates, activity centers, and clothing storage units are regulated with product-specific rules today.

What section 104 covers

  • A defined product list: cribs, toddler beds, high chairs, booster chairs, bath seats, bath tubs, gates, play yards, stationary activity centers, infant carriers, strollers, walkers, bouncers, swings, and bedside sleepers.
  • Each product’s ASTM standard adopted as mandatory with CPSC-strengthened provisions.
  • Adopted rule by rule between 2010 and 2023 — including the 2023 clothing-storage-unit (STURDY Act) rule.

Why it matters to sellers

Section 104 products carry the full durable-product duty stack: third-party testing, a CPC, tracking labels, and consumer registration cards under part 1130. If your product appears on the section 104 list, there is no voluntary-standard shortcut — the mandatory standard applies to every unit manufactured or imported after the compliance date.

Questions people ask

Is section 104 the same as the Danny Keysar Act?

Yes: section 104 of CPSIA is formally the Danny Keysar Child Product Safety Notification Act, named for a child who died in a Chicago daycare crib collapse.

Where is the current product list?

The CPSC’s durable infant or toddler products guidance page lists the products and their incorporated standards, and the eCFR carries the individual parts.
