Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is a U.S. law that enhances the safety of products marketed for children. It sets strict standards for materials, testing, and manufacturing to ensure products are free from hazardous substances like lead and certain chemicals. The law also requires testing and certification before products reach consumers, regular safety reporting, and proper labeling. Its goal is to reduce risks and protect children from unsafe toys, clothes, and other kid-related items, ensuring they are safer and meet consistent safety standards.
