Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CPSC Asks for Comments on Petition to Ban Cords for Window Coverings
July 15, 2013 by Brian Feito|Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking for comments by Sept. 13 on a petition from advocacy groups to set a mandatory standard for window covering cords. The petition requests that the commission ban window covering cords when a cord is unnecessary, and asks that CPSC require all window covering cords be made inaccessible through the use of a passive guardian device. According to CPSC, the petition says the voluntary standards currently in place are insufficient to protect children from choking, and the amount of recalls demonstrate that the standard isn’t being followed anyway. The petition was filed by: Parents for Window Blind Safety; Consumer Federation of America; Consumers Union; Kids in Danger; Public Citizen; U.S. PIRG; Independent Safety Consulting; Safety Behavior Analysis, Inc.; and Onder, Shelton, O’Leary & Peterson.
