The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act is a new law coming into effect soon concerning the phthalates and lead contained in your products.  It will affect what art and craft products can be manufactured and sold especially to children.

It will require the testing and certification of your product although all the products you use to create your art or craft should already be tested and certified for your own safety.
