U.S. COURT OF APPEALS VACATES CPSC RULE ON CUSTOM WINDOW COVERINGS ★★★
The Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) filed a lawsuit challenging the new Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) rule on Cord Safety and its implementation date. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on September 12, 2023, unanimously ruled in favor of granting the WCMA’s petition for review, vacating the CPSC’s rule, and remanding the matter to the CPSC.
The window covering industry will continue to be required to meet the provisions of the voluntary window covering safety standard, ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018. The 2022 revised, updated window covering standard, ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022, has been approved by ANSI. The compliance date for the new standard for all companies manufacturing, distributing, or selling window coverings in the U.S. is June 1, 2024. The 2022 updated standard will require the vast majority of all window coverings sold in the United States to be cordless or to have inaccessible or short cords.
The Case Number is D.C. Cir. No. 22-1300. The Court’s Opinion Window Covering Manufacturers Association v. Consumer Product Safety Commission can be found here.
