CPSC Reopens Comments on Lead Exemption Petition for Kid's Tractors
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is reopening the comment period on its first petition for a “functional purpose” exemption from the 100 parts per million lead content limit for children’s products, a new exemption provided for by Public Law 112-28, which was enacted in August 2011. The petition concerns certain ride-on pedal tractors sized for children. CPSC states that it is reopening the comment period until February 4, 2012 as it has learned that it inadvertently omitted a part of the petition, which is now available in its entirety here.
