"For suppliers, if the bill does becomes law, it may be simpler to just drop older, non-complying items, and replace them with new designs that do comply. The trick will be to make sure that any older inventory is gone before the new law takes effect," he added.
As for the labeling requirements, the Act does not specify whether an item and its packaging must include a warning label, or if the label on one or the other will be sufficient. Larger items such as radios would have space for the label, but smaller products like MP3 players or laser pointers could have their imprint areas affected if they also need to include a warning.
