It's a lot of reading, but because it's a legal issue on a federal level it's best to make your own determinations or consult a professional familar with product laws.

Here's some further reading for others that just may now be hearing about this law.

Here's some reading to get you started on understanding the CPSIA.

Maybe some one else has a link to a plain english version of the small parts regulations, but these 2 links are the best I have.

For fiber & fabric based products there maybe additions laws & regulations that need to be followed under a seperate government agency known as the FTC (Federal Trade Commission).

Wire

----------------------------------------
I believe that wire needs to be tested - wire is usually metal and metal has the greatest possiblity of having lead.
