What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "No Lead in Toys Act," directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to implement specific safety recommendations. These recommendations come from a Government Accountability Office report regarding toxic substances in children's products. The Commission must take action within 180 days of the Act's enactment. Required actions include establishing compliance plans for e-filing and using violation data to assess risks. The Commission must also review lead requirements every five years and document processes for tracking changes in phthalates and other toxic substances. Finally, a report on these implementation steps must be submitted to specific Congressional committees.
