9 ~8 ?; d$ B/ V2 v. c2 ~, a" ?" S8 \HR 4040 is the same thing as the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This is a massive new legislation passed by Congress and signed into law August 14th. We are actively working on documents to communicate the regulations and how they impact us. In very short, there are several main areas that will have a significant impact to our business:) L ?0 ` G' R# e2 Y

1) Lead paint regulation – Lead paint requirements will be lowered from 600 ppm to 90 ppm next year. While not a major issue for us since we already test to this limit, it’s still important.1 @6 {7 V N1 U# u4 r6 a

2) Lead substrate regulation – Effective February, any children’s product that contains lead over 600 ppm will be a banned hazardous item. This gets lowered to 300 ppm by August of next year. Every single component that is accessible has to meet this requirement (including steel, rivets, etc.).4 [! b0 C( K! Z9 Z' M& l% F

4) Certification – Starting November, every product has to have a certificate of compliance issued. These certificates must be based on a reasonable testing program. Starting as early as December, the certificates must be based on mandatory third party testing. Mandatory testing starts with lead paint in December and by September of next year all tests must be done by third parties.
