| Abstract | Long Description |
The CSPA represents a new approach to reducing risks posed by toxic chemicals in children′s products. Rather than addressing problems caused by continued use of toxic chemicals one product or one chemical at a time, this law addresses many chemicals and many products. Under this law, manufacturers of children′s products will have to understand what toxic chemicals are in their products and report this use to the Department of Ecology. Examples of children′s products covered in this law include toys, jewelry, feeding accessories, and car seats. Certain products are exempt from the definition of children's product, such as chemistry sets, bicycles and tricycles, video toys, consumer electronic products, sporting equipment, and batteries. |
