Safety Standard for Toys: Requirements for Water Beads; (27 page(s), in English)

Notice of proposed rulemaking - The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) mandates that ASTM F963 shall be a mandatory toy safety standard. This safety standard sets forth requirements for water bead toys and toys that contain water beads. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) proposes to establish additional performance and labeling requirements for these products. The Commission also proposes to amend CPSC's list of notice of requirements (NORs) to include water bead toys and toys that contain water beads.
