Toy Industry Association (TIA) representatives and several TIA members met with members of federal congressional offices and the Environmental Protection Agency to discuss the passage of Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) reform legislation.
TIA led the TSCA Advocacy Day to encourage key policymakers to collaborate, finalize legislation, and propose a joint bill to President Obama, which he can sign into a federal law before he leaves office next year.
State chemical regulatory programs have resulted in complex and costly compliance procedures that often do not increase the safety of children’s products. Both bills include preemption language that would prevent states from banning chemicals in the future.
