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.
