With the passage of the Children’s Safe Product Act here in Washington state this past April, we now have the nation’s strongest protections on lead, cadmium, and phthalates in toys and other kids products. Fortunately, Congress in the other Washington has taken notice and is considering strengthening protections for the rest of the country. To make sure that Washington’s standards remain in force, it’s crucial that the federal legislation allow states to have stronger toy protections for their kids if they choose.

Your voice is needed to protect this law!
