CPSC to Hold Workshop on Possible Exemptions From Third-Party Testing of Children's Products

The Consumer Product Safety Commission will hold a meeting on April 3 in Rockville, Md. to gather input from industry on how to reduce costs of third-party testing of children’s products. At the workshop, which will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., CPSC will ask for information on products that should not be subject to third-party testing requirements because they never contain lead, phthalates, or other restricted elements in excess of CPSC standards. To give a presentation or sit on a panel at the workshop, registration is required by March 13.
