Legislative CPSIA

  

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA)

ASTRA members have access to our full CPSIA resources and legislative updates. To access the CPSIA Updates page, you must first log in to the member site. Below is a list of resources which can be found on the CPSIA Updates page. A select few are accessible from this page.

As ASTRA Members, we believe anyone who distributes toys to children has a responsibility to ensure those products do no harm.  ASTRA encourages all its members to be vigilant in their individual efforts to uphold that commitment to our children.

The information below is designed to help you ensure compliance with new CPSIA regulations
