Relates to prohibiting the sale of infant walkers and restricting the use of such infant walkers in certain settings
This bill prohibits the sale of infant walkers in New York State and restricts their use in child care facilities unless a medical professional determines they are medically necessary for a specific child. It defines infant walkers as fully enclosed, wheeled units that allow children to move while seated or standing and applies these rules to manufacturers, retailers, and secondhand dealers. The law empowers the Office of Children and Family Services to notify child care providers and create regulations to enforce the ban, while also allowing the Attorney General to seek court injunctions and impose civil penalties of up to $500 for each violation.
