STR Presents Webinar on Impact of Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 on Your Product

Join us for a Complimentary Webinar on August 26, 2008

Significant Changes in Children's Product Safety!

Considered the most comprehensive overhaul of US consumer product safety laws since the 1970's, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) dramatically affects how children's products are evaluated for safety. Major changes include:

  • Mandatory Third Party Testing
  • New Lead Restrictions
  • Mandatory Toy Safety Standards
  • Phthalate Prohibition

Join STR as we review the new legislation and help you understand its affect on your product. If you produce, import or distribute children's products, you don’t want to miss this informational webinar.
