Washington, DC – On August 14 the Consumer Products Safety Commission will begin enforcing new requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.

The limit for lead in children’s products drops from 600 parts per million (ppm) to 300 ppm in any part (except electronics) that is accessible to children. The limit for lead in paint and similar surface-coating materials for consumer use drops from 600 ppm to 90 ppm.

Manufacturers must place permanent distinguishing marks (tracking labels) on any consumer product primarily intended for children 12 and younger made on or after August 14.
