Take Action
KID is working with CPSC to implement The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), a landmark bill that will
strengthen product safety standards, testing, documentation and other safety requirements for children's products.
As part of this process, CPSC posts opportunities for the public to submit comments on ongoing implementation measures on
their dedicated webpage: KID highly recommends that all consumers check CPSC's website regularly and submit comments when prompted.
While CPSIA will bring about major improvements, some issues can only be dealt with at the state level, such as:
-Posting requirements and procedures for retailers in the event of a recall.
-A prohibition on the presence of recalled items in child care facilities and the establishment of procedures to inspect
and remove dangerous items from these settings.
The Children's Product Safety Act makes it illegal to sell or lease recalled or dangerous children's products or to use
those products in licensed childcare facilities. Check to see if your state has enacted children's product safety legislation.
If not, please contact KID to get involved!
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death among children. You can help others avoid preventable injuries and
death by spreading the word.
- Share this lifesaving information with other parents and childcare providers.
- Stay informed by signing up to receive monthly KID's monthly email alert with a list of the month's recalls and top consumer news.
You can also sign up to receive alerts directly from CPSC for up-to-the-minute recall information. Get friends and relatives to
sign up as well.
-Print out these helpful resources from Kids In Danger and pass them out in your community.
