The US continues to regulate against the use of hazardous substances in children's products as the North Carolina Senate introduces a new Bill which would prohibit the sale of children's products containing bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates and TRIS.
Products would be prohibited, from July 1, 2017, if they contained BPA or phthalates, individually or in combination, greater than 0.10% by weight (1,000 parts per million) and TRIS in amounts greater than 50 parts per million in any component.
From October 1, 2016, the bill would require a retailer or distributor, or a trade organization on behalf of its member retailers or distributors, to provide notice to the Department of any children's products that contain one of the regulated chemicals.
