Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, 

Division N, Title IX, Section 905, Public 

Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 1182 (Dec. 27, 

2020) (ACT). This program seeks to 

provide federal funding to deploy 

broadband infrastructure to eligible 

service areas of the country. The 

program will make up to $288,000,000 

grant available on a competitive basis to 

covered partnerships for covered 

broadband projects. On May 19, 2021, 

NTIA published the program’s Notice of 

Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on 

Grants.gov to describe the requirements 

under which it will award grants for the 

BIP.1 The NOFO required award 

recipients to submit financial reports, 

performance (technical) reports, and

NTIA will use the information

abuse.

Rules of Practice for Adjudicative 

Proceedings before the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’), 16 CFR part 1025. 

Jurisdiction 

3. This proceeding is instituted 

pursuant to the authority contained in 

Sections 15(c), (d), and (f) of the CPSA, 

15 U.S.C. 2064(c), (d), and (f).

to Section 4 of the CPSA. 15 U.S.C. 

2053. 

5. Respondent is an Oklahoma 

corporation with its principal place of 

business located at 130 E 10th Street, 

Ada, Oklahoma. 

6. Upon information and belief, 

Respondent is a ‘‘manufacturer’’ and/or 

‘‘distributor’’ of a ‘‘consumer product’’ 

that is ‘‘distribute[d] in commerce,’’ as 

those terms are defined in Sections 

3(a)(5), (7), (8), and (11) of the CPSA, 15 

U.S.C. 2052(a)(5), (7), (8), and (11). 

The Podsters 

7. The Podsters consist of various 

models of infant lounging pillows that 

were manufactured and/or distributed 

in U.S. commerce and offered for sale to 

consumers for their personal use in or 

around a permanent or temporary 

household or residence, school, in 

recreation, or otherwise. 

8. The Podsters are manufactured at 

Respondent’s facilities in Ada, 

Oklahoma. 

9. Upon information and belief, the 

Podsters include, but are not limited to, 

the following models: Podster, Podster 

Plush, Bummzie, and Podster Playtime. 

10. Upon information and belief, 

approximately 180,000 Podsters have 

been manufactured and distributed in 

U.S. commerce since 2009. The Podster 

and Podster Plush models have been 

sold from 2009 to present; the Bummzie 

was sold exclusively at Walmart from 

2010 to 2018; and the Podster Playtime

11. Upon information and belief, the 

retail price for the Podsters ranges from

retail chains including, but not limited 

to, Amazon.com, Bed Bath and Beyond, 

Buy Buy Baby, Kohls, Macy’s, Toys R 

Us/Babies R Us, and Walmart. 

13. The Podster is a product marketed 

for caregivers to use for infant lounging 

and to ‘‘provide[ ] a warm and cozy 

caress for infants.’’ It was designed to 

permit a caregiver to keep an infant in 

a safe environment, allowing for handsfree supervision. 

14. The Podster is not and has never 

been advertised by Respondent as a 

sleep product. 

15. The Podster contains warnings 

that the product should not be used for 

sleep and that adult supervision is 

always required. 

16. The Podster contains warnings 

that the product should only be used on 

the floor, and not in another product, 

such as a crib, on a bed, table, playpen, 

counter, or any elevated surface. 

17. The Podster contains warnings 

that infants should not be placed prone 

or on their side in the product. 

18. The Podster contains instructions 

that it should be used for infants not to 

exceed 16 pounds, and should not be 

used if an infant can roll over. 

19. The Podster contains warnings 

and instructions that use of the product 

in contravention to these warnings 

could result in serious injury or death. 

The Podsters’ Defects Create a 

Suffocation Hazard 

20. Despite the warnings and 

instructions, it is foreseeable that 

caregivers will use the Podster without 

supervision. It is also foreseeable that 

caregivers will use the Podster for infant 

sleep. 

a. The Podsters are marketed for use 

with infants, and caregivers may trust 

that the products are safe places to leave 

infants. Because the Podsters appear 

simple to use, are likely to be used 

frequently, and do not appear
