The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act takes affect tomorrow; assuming there are no last minute changes of heart. The law which was passed last year sets new limits for lead and phthalates in children's products. Retailers have made an 11th-hour appeal to Congress to roll back part of the law, no word yet on if they were successful. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Thursday rejected an interpretation of the law by the Consumer Product Safety Commission that would have allowed the sale of products with phthalates made before Feb. 10th.
