TSCAThe U.S. Senate unanimously passed legislation reforming the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) on June 7, according to the Toy Industry Association (TIA). The bill, which is now awaiting signature by President Obama, marks Congress’ first major update to the legislation in 40 years and represents a major victory for the toy industry.

TIA will host an educational webinar to explain how the TSCA reform impacts toy companies’ chemical use management program. The webinar will take place on Thursday, June 16th from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. (EST), registration is now open.

Once President Obama signs the bill into law, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will begin the process of prioritizing chemicals and taking necessary steps to review them. TIA intends to stay engaged with EPA in order to find opportunities to participate in the development of future rules and regulations impacting the toy industry.
