NFL adopts rolling three-strike safety suspension formula

The NFL and NFLPA unveiled a rolling safety-rule suspension system: a one-game suspension after the third violation of any one of five rules (hip-drop tackles, horse-collar tackles, launching, hits on defenseless players, and blindside blocks). Violations carry over year-to-year with resets: players start each year with zero violations; two violations in a season carry one into the next, unless a new season has no violations, in which case it resets to zero. A third violation in a season triggers suspension, with further violations that year extending penalties; carryovers can keep a player near suspension in following seasons. The article notes this approach would have produced only one suspension in 2024 and one in 2025.

"CPSC Proposes Safety Rules for Infant Rockers and Nursing Pillows Following Fatalities"

Staff at the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have recommended new safety rules for infant rockers after linking the popular product to 11 deaths and 88 injuries from 2011 to 2022. The proposed rules aim to prevent suffocation by making rockers firmer and flatter, requiring stability and safety tests, and addressing strangulation risks. The CPSC's four commissioners will meet on October 4 to decide whether to adopt the recommendations. The agency estimates that nearly 570,000 infant rockers are sold per year, and manufacturers could face redesign costs of around $80,000 per model. Some manufacturers have defended their rockers' safety, while others have expressed support for federal safety rules.

Airline Unions Accuse SkyWest of Safety Rule Evasion through Charter Status

Airline unions are opposing SkyWest Airlines' request to operate some flights as charters, accusing the company of trying to evade safety rules for passenger airlines. SkyWest says charter service is the only way to preserve flights to many smaller communities that major airlines no longer serve. The Transportation Department has not indicated when it will rule.
