Which Electronic Children’s Products are Exempted from the Lead Ban: Commission Rules

To address the lag time between when manufacturers of electronics must comply with the lead ban (02/10/09) and when they will know which products are exempt from the lead ban (after 02/17/09), the Commission announced that it is withdrawing the proposed rule. In its place, the Commission has posted an “interim” final rule which spells out exactly which electronic products, or components of electronic products will be exempted.
