What Is The CPSIA?
The CPSIA is a new law which has created a stringent set of guidelines relating to products used for children under the age of 12. The CPSIA is a very complex law, and understanding it can be a daunting task. Aside from children's products, the CPSIA covers merchandise and products in many categories. The legislation is to take effect February 10, 2009 (now has been postponed to February 10, 2010.)
