Have you experienced an unintended inflatable structure deployment?

The Bureau is evaluating whether structures producing vocalizations qualify as 'consumer devices' or require reclassification. Determination pending.

Gannett Row update, Day 22: the enclosure has not deflated. It has begun humming. Commuters are advised to use the northbound platform. #GannettRow

ALERT: FR-1 deployment at Gannett Row, southbound platform, Day 13. Structure expanded to 3x original volume. Producing sounds described as 'patient.' Override key has not been used. #GannettRow

All inflatable consumer structures must be supervised during deployment. Unattended inflation events are the leading cause of Bureau callouts this quarter.

Override key advisory: FR-1 override keys are issued at point of sale. If lost, contact the manufacturer. The Bureau cannot issue replacement keys. We have asked.

The Bureau notes 9 FR-1 deployment complications this quarter. Inflatable structures are not designed for indefinite deployment. We are developing guidelines.

The Bureau is developing a regulatory framework for inflatable consumer structures. Draft classification: P-1 Residential, P-2 Commercial, P-3 Institutional. Timeline pending. #FartRoom
