I reached out to the CPSC on this about a month ago and they replied very quickly. The final rule has not been published yet. CPSC is working through comments received, which were extensive. They were not able to provide an estimated date for publication of the final rule since they expected the proposed rule<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.federalregister.gov_documents_2023_02_09_2023-2D02356_safety-2Dstandard-2Dand-2Dnotification-2Drequirements-2Dfor-2Dbutton-2Dcell-2Dor-2Dcoin-2Dbatteries-2Dand-2Dconsumer&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=x40qV4DM3u4JrqHl_FVpxdOqkHDBo3f6BvwvAwIWGH8&m=PpPqZzJjIwbm8eV1HKVZSgnm6mEPi_05GFacXt9SX4uQ_kakfLgGmk7noobKsLxt&s=VcIkoOkMsAKV9q1JvetLbK0ypn48cWMvg0mC63ZW5Zo&e=> would need to be revised.

John, I've not read it in detail, but try this location: https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Button-Cell-and-Coin-Battery -Doug Douglas E Powell Laporte, Colorado, USA [email protected] LinkedIn (UTC-06:00, US-MDT) On Thu, Aug 17, 2023 at 5:08 PM John Riutta <[email protected]> wrote: Hello all, Regarding Reese’s Law and the role of the CPSC in publishing a standard for the battery compartment as defined: “Enacted in 2022, Reese’s Law (P.L. 117-171) mandates federal safety requirements for button cell and coin batteries. Section 2 of Reese’s Law requires CPSC to promulgate a rule for button cell or coin batteries and consumer products that contain such batteries. The standard must include performance requirements for the battery compartment of such consumer products, as well as warning label requirements for button cell or coin battery packaging, consumer product packaging, any accompanying literature, and the product itself (as practicable). CPSC staff published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) outlining the requirements (88 FR 8692); comments to the NPR must be submitted by March 13, 2023.” I have not been able to find any publication of such a rule by the CPSC, which was – unless I am mistaken – due by 16 August 2023. Are any of you aware of the rule being published please? Best regards, John John E.
