On August 17, 2016, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule [Docket No. CPSC–2016–0017] that would determine that certain plastics with specified additives would not contain the specified phthalates prohibited in children’s toys and child care articles. Based on these determinations, the specified plastics with specified additives would not require third party testing for compliance with the mandatory phthalates prohibitions on children’s toys and child care articles. Comments must be submitted by October 31, 2016.
