CPSIA

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) has been in the news over the past several months and relates to all imported products for children. Due to the complexities of the CPSIA, we have created these FAQs, to help you stay informed.

What is the Consumer Product Safety Act?
“In response to the recent increase in reports of lead and toxins, as well as potential choking hazards of children’s’ toys, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in August of 2008. The law requires extensive third-party testing requirements on all items produced for children less than 12 years of age for lead, phthalates and choking hazards.
