What Is The CPSIA?

The CPSIA is a new law which has created a stringent set of guidelines relating to products used for children under the age of 12. The CPSIA is a very complex law, and understanding it can be a daunting task. Aside from children's products, the CPSIA covers merchandise and products in many categories. The legislation is to take effect February 10, 2009.

There are aspects of the CPSIA that are still under discussion, mostly about merchandise that was produced before the CPSIA was enacted. Our Baby K'tan baby carrier has not changed, nor have we changed our suppliers, factories or anything else that makes up our product. We are actively following up on all new information from the CPSC, and will strive to follow all the rules and requirements of the law.
