Tyler’s Law

Tyler’s Law requires hospitals and medical examiners or coroners to report incidents involving a child’s death or serious injury linked to children’s products (like toys) or durable infant/toddler products (like cribs) to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Hospitals must submit detailed reports within 7 days, including the child’s age and injury details, product information, and incident circumstances. Medical examiners and coroners must report child deaths associated with such products within 7 days, and failure to comply could make their offices ineligible for certain federal grants. The law applies to incidents occurring 180 days after enactment and uses existing definitions for "children’s product" from consumer safety laws.
