The CPSC also raised its estimate of the work the rules cost businesses, and it turned down requests to replace printed warnings with QR codes<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, the warning labels and records needed to sell coin-battery goods in the United States stay in place. A shipment of loose coin batteries, or of goods that run on them, must still carry printed warnings on the box and in the manual.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did the CPSC announce on Oct. 5?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC published a notice in the Federal Register under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. This law requires agencies to get approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before they make businesses keep records or print information. The notice says the CPSC has now sent OMB a request to extend that approval<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approval covers the <strong>Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries<\/strong> and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries, found at 16 CFR part 1263<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. OMB tracks it under <strong>control number 3041-0195<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The type of review is a renewal, so the rule itself does not change<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the second step of the renewal. On June 15, 2026, the CPSC published a first notice that it planned to seek the extension and asked for comments within 60 days<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\" id=\"hsn-cite-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC received three comments on that first notice<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which batteries and products does the coin battery rule cover?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule rests on Reese&#8217;s Law, a 2022 law meant to protect children six years old and younger from swallowing these batteries<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\" id=\"hsn-cite-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The law defines a button cell or coin battery as a <strong>single cell battery with a diameter greater than its height<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\" id=\"hsn-cite-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. It also covers any other battery that the CPSC finds poses a swallowing hazard<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule covers two kinds of goods<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Packages of loose batteries<\/strong>, including coin batteries packed separately with a product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consumer products that contain or use the batteries<\/strong>, for children and for adults alike.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice names the businesses that must keep the records. They are the <strong>manufacturers and importers<\/strong> of battery packages and of non-children&#8217;s products that contain or are designed to use these batteries<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Children&#8217;s products are covered by the rule&#8217;s tests and labels too, though the notice lists non-children&#8217;s products for record-keeping<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What must coin battery goods carry at the U.S. border?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule sets two kinds of requirements<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. First, it sets performance tests for <strong>child-resistant battery compartments<\/strong>, which are battery doors that a small child cannot open. Second, it sets warning label rules.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v1\" data-at=\"what-must-coin-battery-goods-carry-at-the-u-s-border\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>What coin battery goods must meet<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Requirement<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>Battery compartment<\/th><td>Child-resistant, passes performance tests<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Battery packaging<\/th><td>Warning label required<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Product packaging<\/th><td>Warning label required<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>User manual<\/th><td>Warning included<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>The product itself<\/th><td>Warning where practicable<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Reese&#8217;s Law, the warnings must appear in several places<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>on the packaging of button cell or coin batteries;<\/li>\n<li>on the packaging of products containing these batteries;<\/li>\n<li>in any literature that comes with the product, such as a user manual;<\/li>\n<li>where practicable, directly on the product, visible when the battery is put in or replaced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warnings must clearly name the swallowing hazard<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. They must tell buyers to keep new and used batteries away from children and to get medical help at once if a child swallows one<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the CPSC rule work for importers?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC first adopted the rule in a direct final rule, a rule that takes effect without a separate proposal stage, published Sept. 21, 2023<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. That rule made a private standard, <strong>UL 4200A-2023<\/strong>, mandatory for products containing these batteries<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. A separate rule set warning rules for battery packaging, because UL 4200A does not cover loose batteries<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Products subject to the rule <strong>must be tested and certified<\/strong> as meeting it<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. Products made or imported after Oct. 23, 2023 had to comply<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC gave a 180-day grace period for enforcement, from Sept. 21, 2023 to March 19, 2024, because testing labs were scarce<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. Third-party lab testing of children&#8217;s products was not required before Dec. 20, 2023<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paperwork renewal now under review covers the labeling and record-keeping part of this work<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It does not add new tests or labels.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much work does the CPSC say the labels take?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC estimates that <strong>15,363 businesses<\/strong> respond to the rule each year<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Each responds about three times a year, the notice says<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v1\" data-at=\"how-much-work-does-the-cpsc-say-the-labels-take\">\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__cols\">\n    <h4>Estimated yearly cost of the paperwork, USD<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"1\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">$5.6 million<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"60\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">June 2026 estimate<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"1\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">$9 million<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"100\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">October 2026 estimate<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its June notice, the CPSC estimated 1.25 hours for labeling and 1.25 hours for record-keeping per response<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. That gave a total of 115,222.5 hours and about <strong>$5.6 million a year<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the comments, the CPSC raised both figures to <strong>two hours each<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The new total is 184,356 hours a year<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. At $48.97 an hour, the average pay of workers in goods-producing industries, the cost is about <strong>$9 million a year<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC said the time will vary by company size, by the number and type of products sold, and by internal practices<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It added that labels are not usually redesigned every year, so two hours a year for labeling is reasonable<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did the CPSC reject QR code warnings?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), an industry group, said the estimate was too low<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It said each label takes at least three to four hours<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. ITI asked the CPSC to allow <strong>electronic labeling<\/strong>, such as a QR code linking to an online manual<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. An anonymous commenter made similar points about the time per label<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC said the rule does not stop companies from also offering the warnings online<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. But not all buyers have easy internet access or know how to use QR codes<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. For that reason, the <strong>warning text must come physically with the product<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For goods arriving at U.S. ports, a QR code alone will not meet the rule. The printed warning on the box and in the manual stays.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about small packages and colour printing?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anonymous commenter asked for other formats on small surfaces<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The commenter also asked to allow high-contrast black-and-white printing on small retail packs<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC answered that both UL 4200A-2023 and its own rule at 16 CFR 1263.4 already contain a table of letter sizes based on the display area<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Smaller letters are allowed on small surfaces<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Both also offer other ways to show the warning when there is no room for the full text<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC also said the rule <strong>does not prohibit high-contrast monochrome printing<\/strong>, meaning black-and-white warnings<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China also sent a comment under Article 2.9.4 of the WTO agreement on technical barriers to trade<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC treated it as outside the scope of this paperwork review, because it addressed the rule and the private standards themselves<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the UL 4200A standard about to change?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A separate review is under way. On Sept. 3, 2026, the CPSC said UL had told it of a <strong>revised standard, UL 4200A-2026<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC asked whether the revision improves safety, with comments due by Sept. 17, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reese&#8217;s Law sets a fixed process for this<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC may reject the revision, in whole or in part, by telling UL within <strong>90 days<\/strong> of receiving notice that it does not improve safety<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. If the CPSC does not act, the revised standard becomes the mandatory rule <strong>180 days<\/strong> after the CPSC received the notice, or on a later date the CPSC sets<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The September notice does not give the exact date UL notified the CPSC<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. So the date the 2026 version could take effect is not yet fixed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens next for the coin battery rules?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OMB will take comments on the paperwork renewal until <strong>Nov. 4, 2026<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.
