  Contents of relevant bills
  CPSA is the abbreviation of consumer product safety act, which was promulgated in 1972 and is the protection regulation of CPSC. It establishes an agency, explains its basic powers, and stipulates that when CPSC finds any excessive danger that can bring harm related to consumer products, it formulates standards that can reduce or eliminate such danger. It also allows CPSC to issue a recall for defective products (except those that are not under the jurisdiction of CPSC).
  FHSA
  FHSA (Federal Hazardous Substances Act), FHSA is the abbreviation of federal dangerous goods act. The bill requires household products with certain risks to put warning notices on their labels to remind consumers of the potential risks, and to instruct them how to protect themselves when these risks arise. Any toxic, corrosive, flammable, irritating products and products that can generate electricity through decay, heating or other reasons need to be warned in the label. If the product is easy to cause personal injury and disease in normal use and when touched by children, it should also be indicated in the label.
  PPPA
  (PoisonPreventionPackagingAct)
  PPPA is the abbreviation of dangerous goods packaging act. The act, which came into force in 1970, requires some household appliances to have child protective packaging to protect children from harm. The Packaging Act requires that the design of the product not only prevents children under 5 years old from opening the product within a certain period of time, but also facilitates the normal opening of the product by adults. Considering that the elderly and the disabled may have difficulties in opening the packaging of such products, the bill allows the product to appear on the counter of the grocery store in a non-standard size package with warning signs on it, indicating that the product cannot be easily taken by children in the family. When the doctor's prescription or patients have special requirements, statutory prescription drugs can not use child protective packaging.
  RSA
  (RefrigeratorSafetyAct)
  RSA is short for the refrigerator Safety Act. The Act came into force in 1956. It requires that in case of special circumstances, the mechanical structure of the product (usually magnetic latch) can ensure that the door can be opened from the inside. This special situation occurs when children are playing, crawling into discarded or not carefully stored refrigerators. In fact, many of these refrigerators are still in use. Once they are placed in a place that children can easily touch, they will become very dangerous.
  CPSIA
  On August 14, 2008, US President Bush signed into law the Consumer Goods Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA / HR4040). The act is the most stringent Consumer Protection Act since the establishment of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 1972. In addition to stricter requirements on lead content in children's products, the new law also makes new provisions on phthalate content in toys and children's care products. In addition, the act also requires the establishment of a public database on consumer product safety, and requires that certain children's products must have test reports issued by an independent third-party laboratory recognized by the Commission before they are imported into the United States.
  CPSIA affects all industries in the United States that produce, import and distribute toys, clothing and other children's products and care products. All manufacturers should ensure that their products comply with all the provisions, prohibitions, standards or rules of the act. In addition to DINP, DIDP and DnOP, DEHP, DBP and BBP have been permanently banned in the phthalate content until the chap research report is published.
  Lead requirements
  The lead content of all parts of children's products is limited by stages. It is required to reduce the total lead content of any accessible part of the product from 600ppm (0.06%) to 100ppm (0.01%) within 3 years.
  Lead content limit (weight of total lead content)
  In children's products, except for non palpable ingredients
  No more than 600ppm (0.06%), 180 days after the date of promulgation of the regulation (February 10, 2009)
  No more than 300ppm (0.03%), 1 year after the date of promulgation (14 August 2009)
  No more than 100ppm (0.01%), 3 years after the date of promulgation (August 14, 2011)
  Lead paint on children's products and toys
  No more than 90ppm (0.009%), one year after the date of promulgation (August 14, 2009)
  Mandatory third party testing requirements for certain children's products:
  Since November 12, 2008, 90 days after the regulations come into effect, manufacturers and private brands of children's products must
  —-Send the products to the qualified independent third party testing agency for relevant testing
  —-Issue a certificate to prove that the product meets the applicable standards or regulations
  —-For specific mandatory product information, testing agency requirements and time requirements, please pay attention to the update of technical documents related to EBO
  Labeling requirements
  One year after the regulation came into effect (August 14, 2009), manufacturers of children's products must affix permanent, clear and eye-catching marks on their products and related packages, so that consumers can identify and determine the manufacturer's name, production date and place of origin, as well as other relevant production information, so as to ensure the traceability of products.
  Unless the product meets the safety requirements or standards applicable to the regulation or standard, it is strictly prohibited for the advertisement of the consumer goods or the label and package of the product to contain the alleged information about the consumer goods safety regulations or voluntary consumer goods safety standards.
  Phthalates
  180 days after the law came into effect (February 10, 2009), it is illegal for anyone to provide the following products
  —-It is illegal to produce and sell any children's toys or child care articles containing di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate DEHP, dibutyl phthalate DBP or butylbenzyl phthalate BBP with concentration higher than 0.1%
  —-During a transitional period, it is prohibited to produce or sell children's toys or child care articles that can be put into the mouth containing diisoononyl phthalate DINP, diisoodecyl phthalate DIDP or dioctyl phthalate DnOP with concentration higher than 0.1%
  —-During this period, the CPSC was asked to organize a study to decide whether to continue to implement this regulation or to restrict other phthalates or phthalate substitutes in the future.
  On November 7, 2012, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) of the United States issued the final rule for baby cradles (No. 16cfr1223) in the official journal fr. the final rule adopted astmf2088-12a (with two modifications to the adoption of astmf2088-12a), and came into effect on May 7, 2013. There are two differences between astmf2088-12a and astmf2088-12a:
  (1)Instead of meeting the requirements of 8.3.1 of astmf2088-12a, replace with: the seat back with adjustable seat (adjustable more than 50 degrees) shall contain the following warning words:Keepswingseatfullyreclineduntilchildisatleast4monthsoldANDcanholdupheadwithouthelp;Younginfantshavelimitedheadandneckcontrol;Ifseatistooupright,infant’sheadcandropforward,compresstheairway,andresultinDEATH.。
  Added the following warning:Topreventseriousinjuryordeathfrominfantsfallingorbeingstrangledinstraps;Alwayssecureinfantintherestraintsystemprovided;Neverleaveinfantunattendedinswing;Discontinueuseofswingwheninfantattemptstoclimbout。
  Added the following warning:Alwaysplaceswingonfloor.Neveruseonanyelevatedsurface。
  (2)The test method for the strength of toy phone accessories is also different.
  Product requirements
  It must be tested by a third-party laboratory according to the requirements of CPSIA [4]. So far, unit testing is required. This means that every model or style of a product must be tested throughout. For small companies, unit testing may have some problems - not only will it not destroy testing a project, from a potential small inventory, testing is also expensive if the enterprise does not sell to offset the cost.
  Some small businesses currently petition the CPSC to allow components to be tested, which will allow them to use several products before, thus saving some money and testing time to test their input materials once. The CPSC recently announced that cotton, natural wool, wood, and other untreated, completely natural substances do not require lead testing as long as they are untreated.
  New safety standards
  Recently, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a new safety standard for infant swing. The new standard, which will be included in 16CFR part 1223 (currently not available), requires infant swings to comply with astmf2088-12a - revised consumer safety code for infant swings. For details of the amendment, see 16cfr1223.2 (b) (page 11 of the final rule).
  The standard definition of infant swing includes Cradle Swing and electric rocking chair that meet the following definitions:
  ·Infant swing - a fixed part with a bracket and a power device, which enables infants to swing in a sitting position. The users of infant swing include infants from birth to childhood. Such products must support the normal use of children at this stage.
  ·Cradle Swing -- a swing for children to lie on their back and swing
  ·Electric rocking chair - a low profile, small and powerful rocking chair that can move up to 6 feet from a distance, or move less than the distance between the bottom of the seat and the supporting surface (ground) in any movement range of the rocking chair.
  The regulation will come into effect on May 7, 2013, and all products produced since that date must comply with the regulation.
