Manufacturing or selling children's products?

Does your business sell, manufacture or distribute children's products or toys? If so, there are enormous changes within the USA toy industry that will affect the product safety standard of your products. Did you know that any toy or product that is manufactured (In the USA or other country) or sold for use by children under 12 are now required by USA law to be tested for such hazards as lead, pthalates or dangerous heavy metals? Children's pajamas, apparel labels, printed materials and even product packaging are all subject to safety testing.

Let's start a Q&A about this topic. I'm curious to hear your concerns and stories.
