Lead-laced toys are still out there. Tell Congress to seal the deal.
Congress
needs to hear from you, instead of the industry, on the Product Safety Bill. As the two
bodies decide the fate of the final bill, it’s a crucial time to make your
voice heard.
Petition Text:
Dear
CPSC Conferee:
It’s
time for Congress to finish the job of protecting children from dangerous toys.
We urge you to take the strongest parts of both the House and Senate CPSC
reform bills as you prepare a final law for the President’s signature before
Father’s Day. Any final law should protect children up to 12 years old, as the
House bill would provide. It should require third-party testing for hazards of
all consumer products, including toys, as the Senate bill would provide. It
should ban toxic lead at the lowest level possible and include the Senate’s
provision banning toxic phthalate chemicals. On other provisions, children
deserve the best of both bills.
