CPSIA: The Guidelines - Please Read Them

[#1]

As business owners, we all have the responsibility to know the CPSIA law and to judge how it affects the products we, as individuals, make and sell. And then take measures to correct our products.

By going to the CPSC website, opening the Guidelines, everything we need to know is pretty much explained.

I used CONTROL and click on this link to open it. Not sure if you will need to.

If you click the various parts, you can get answers. If we don't take the time to read it, know what is in it, and then write letters to Congress, the media, etc., the letters will appear to contain false information and will be ignored.

I am still seeing questions, statements in threads that are not true. If sellers will only read through this Guideline, we will become a much more informed group. An informed group will have a better chance of getting changes to this law passed.

I've been refering back to this link for months, but I cannot get clear on the phthalates testing requirements. They are quite clear on lead testing rules but seem to just say your stuff can't have phthalates and you should avoid materials that could contain them...?

Under the Answers to Frequently Asked Questions, there are CURRENT responses. Just because this appeared in March does not mean that they are not adding information. Worth reading and re-reading.

I pulled this back up. Lots of questions are answered within. Lots to read.
