Parental Advisory Suggested
What's At Risk?
While the CPSIA regulations have cost suppliers a great deal of money, the flip side of noncompliance was never even an option. Any parent or person who cares for children is well-versed in the phase of children's lives when absolutely everything ends up in their mouth. Anyone under 3-years-old is much more vulnerable to the effects of chemical substances entering their body. The result of a toy, lunch box or sippy cup laden with lead, phthalates and other toxic substances can be devastating to a child's intellectual and physical development. "It's not all about price, or money," said Lafichi, "When the phthalates issue first came out, we destroyed a lot of merchandise. There was nothing in our building that was noncompliant or that had failures, nothing," she continued.
