The Product Safety Letter summarizes last week's public meetings of the US Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel's (USA-ITA), sharing how they are affected by the excessive costs of the CPSIA…
“Several representatives of USA-ITA companies told Northup that they have quit selling certain items to avoid the rigors of CPSIA testing. ‘We completely got out of children’s jewelry.’”
“Said another, representing a company that sells t-shirts, the shirts’ designs now feature less colors to cut down on testing costs.”
They are “hard-hit by having to meet the dual requirements of federal standards and those set by U.S. states”
