CPSIA Compliant
In the last few months there have been a lot of changes to the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). The constant amendments to the law have left most
consumers unclear about the improvements and the respective timelines that they
should expect to see from companies like BabyLegs. For your benefit, we have created
these FAQs, which we will continually update, to help you stay informed.
FAQs
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 childrens 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. It also requires permanent labeling of
each item with a date and batch number.
