The Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008 was signed into law on August 14 by President Bush. The bill, also known as H.R. 4040, requires manufacturers and importers to subject toys and other nursery products to certify that they have passed strict mandatory U.S. safety standards before they hit store shelves. The certifications must be based on reasonable production testing of parts or finished products.
Here is a summary of some provisions the new CPSC regulations are required to implement:
Toy and JP Testing: Requires mandatory third party safety certification of products made for children 12 and under. Upon CPSC accreditation, private labs could be allowed to test products if they provide equal or greater consumer protection than available third party labs. Authorizes CPSC personnel to inspect any lab certified under the Consumer Product Safety Act and withdraw accreditation if necessary. The JPMA Certification Program is subject to update and is expected to provide a turnkey solution to these new testing and certification requirements. Certain durable infant products: Specifically identifies certain products that will need to contain product registration cards, which are: full-size cribs and non-full-size cribs; toddler beds; high chairs, booster chairs, and hook-on chairs; bath seats; gates and other enclosures for confining a child; play yards; stationary activity centers; infant carriers; strollers; walkers; swings; and bassinets and cradles.
