Due to extreme pressure from manufacturers and retailers, the CPSC continues to rethink the implementation of the CPSIA rulings. Some of the certification regulations have been delayed by 1 year, but for now it looks like the lead limit for children’s products and the Phthalate limits for children’s toys might still take effect on February 10, 2009. An emergency session of the CPSC to discuss a possible delay is planned for February 9th.
The CPSC issues changes weekly, if not daily, and it’s hard to keep up with the changing legislation. But don’t worry – the MacPherson’s team is keeping up with all the changes so that you don’t have to. We are working diligently to insure that all items in our inventory are in compliance with the CPSIA regulations; we have contacted all vendors requesting testing results; and we will act accordingly on any items found not to be in compliance with the regulations as they take affect.
