The Consumer Product Safety Commission is concerned that the recently-enacted law banning lead paint in children's products extends to a number of products that were not intended to be covered, according to a report the agency sent to Congress on the enforcement of the law.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act was passed in 2008 in the wake of widespread recalls of products that posed a threat to children, including toys made with lead or lead-based paint. The statute requires testing and labeling of all children's products.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has voted again to stay enforcement of stricter lead limits and mandatory testing and certification of lead content in children's products.
Starting on Dec. 31, 2011, manufacturers and importers of children's products that are subject to the lead content limit must have certificates saying their products have been tested by a CPSC- approved third party laboratory in order to sell them in the United States.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'' or ``CPSC'' or ``we'') has received a petition requesting an exception from the 100 ppm lead content limit under section 101(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA''), as amended by Public Law 112-28. We are granting an exception to the 100 ppm lead content limit for certain aluminum alloy components of children's die- cast, ride-on pedal tractors, and similar component parts made of aluminum alloy on similar ride-on children's products for children ages 3 years and older. Such products may include other children's ride-on tractors, children's ride-on cars, and other ride-on toys. These aluminum alloy components must meet a lead content limit of 300 ppm.
