What is the CPSIA?
The CPSIA stands for the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act which is a law that was enacted in August of 2008.
The stated purpose of this bill is to “establish consumer product safety standards and other safety requirements for children’s products and to reauthorize and modernize the Consumer Product Safety Commission.”
The CPSIA requires that all products intended for children under 12 are tested and certified as meeting the lead limits as set forth in the law. Phthalate testing is also required for toys intended for children under 12 or “child care articles” for children under three.

Thank you very much for the website.
I’d suggest making the top stickied entry much more dramatic and attention getting. Perhaps start with a typical horror story, “High Quality American Artisan Closes Business Because of Insane New Law” or “Classic Children’s Books Banned in America” or something more to that effect.
