The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a> (CPSC) has extended its testing and certification of lead content in children\u2019s products until December 31, 2011. The decision was voted in on January 31 and requires importers and manufacturers of children\u2019s products outside of the United States to have the proper certificates stating that the lead content in their products meets U.S. limits. If a certificate is not obtained from a CPSC-approved third party laboratory, then a manufacturer\u2019s children\u2019s products may not be sold in the U.S. <\/p>\n

There are already federal restrictions in place regarding the total lead content in children\u2019s products, but despite the extension of testing and certification, any manufacturer, importer, or retailer of children\u2019s products must still adhere to these regulations. <\/p>\n

According to The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), a child product is not allowed to have more than 300 parts per million of lead. However, unless the CPSC determines that it is not practical to do so for technological reasons, the lead content limit will drop to 100 parts per million in August.<\/p>\n

Currently, the testing enforcement does not apply to lead paint, which can have no more than 90 parts per million, or children\u2019s metal jewelry, which allows 300 parts per million. Third party testing is required for products in these two categories. <\/p>\n
