PPAI Reaches Out to Members Threatened By North Dakota Floods
Enacted in August 2008, the CPSIA makes significant changes to consumer product safety laws and gives the CPSC significant new responsibilities for ensuring the safety of consumer products.
“On behalf of PPAI, I joined the petition filed by the NAM CPSC Coalition in requesting a one-year emergency stay in the tracking label provision of the CPSIA,” said PPAI president and CEO Steve Slagle. “We are gravely concerned that there remains insufficient time prior to the current August 14, 2009 implementation date to finalize, publish and adopt new tracking systems and marks,” Slagle continued. “Additionally, we specifically call on the CPSC to identify those situations where it is not practical to affix tracking labels, particularly on very small products such as lapel pins, key chains and pens.”
