"We have great news! On Tuesday, the the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted that independent testing for toxics like lead in paint, lead content, and phthalates in products for children under the age of 12 must be done BEFORE toys hit the store shelves.
You and more than 10,000 MomsRising members sent letters to the CPSC in support of this rule. Your effort paid off!
A statement about the CPSC's vote explains the significance of this success: "Today was a monumental day for the safety of America’s children, and one that parents and grandparents have waited years to happen." With this vote, the CPSC is taking "safety to the source."
You can read the entire statement here:http://action.momsrising.
Great work and thanks for standing with us to make toys safer!
-- Claire, Sarah, Kristin and the MomsRising Team"
