Now in addition to seeking safety and compliance in products, distributors should ensure MFi certification is available for applicable products, Sheldon said.
"We have always trusted that the items being offered are not only safe but are sold to us without any legal ramifications," she said. "To ensure an item is safe we ask for testing documentation.

It definitely makes it more challenging to source and sell."
