Rep. Nancy Mace Reintroduces Tyler’s Law to Protect Children from High-Risk Consumer Products

July 14, 2025 Press Release Mace’s bill mandates faster reporting to prevent child tragedies before they occur Image (Washington, D.C., July 14th, 2025) — Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) reintroduced Tyler’s Law , a bipartisan effort to strengthen consumer protection and ensure deadly or dangerous children’s products are reported swiftly to the federal government. Named in memory of 10-month-old Tyler Jonathan, who tragically lost his life due to a defective crib, Tyler’s Law requires hospitals, medical examiner offices, and coroner offices to report incidents involving the death or serious injury of a child, when tied to children’s products or durable infant/toddler products, to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) within seven days of determination. “No parent should ever suffer the loss of a child because of a dangerous product,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “This bill brings accountability to the system and gives families the protection and peace of mind they deserve. We're taking real action to protect our children." The bill outlines comprehensive and timely reporting requirements for: Hospitals, which must report any serious injury or death of a child linked to a children’s product. Medical Examiner and Coroner Offices, which must report deaths associated with such products. Detailed incident information must be submitted, including product codes, cause of death or injury, and demographic information about the child involved. Enforcement measures include the loss of federal accreditation funding for noncompliant medical examiner or coroner offices. Tyler’s Law also integrates compliance into Medicare participation requirements for hospitals, further reinforcing the law’s effectiveness and ensuring timely action. The legislation will help CPSC identify dangerous products faster, remove them from the market, and potentially save countless young lives. ### Issues : Better Government
