Earlier this year, CPSC commissioner Inez Tenenbaum endorsed a voluntary children's jewelry safety standard proposed by the Fashion Jewelry and Accessories Trade Association and the Toy Industry Association. This is in keeping with the commission's policy of encouraging industries to police themselves.
