Book Printers Get CPSIA Exemption

The law was enacted in the wake of several high-profile cases involving the discovery of children's products with high levels of lead, including many Chinese imports. CPSIA constricted limits of lead and phthalates allowable in children's products and also called for third-party testing. While the law was ostensibly aimed at toys, it cast a wide net over any products that would be used by children, including books, magazines, flash cards and maps.
