Safety
*I'm linking to my previous articles on children's safety issues. Some of the things I write about are common sense. Some detail the confusion that exists. Please keep in mind that some of these articles are out of date. Please research the safety requirements on your own and consult testing labs/lawyers for better information. Don't rely on these articles alone when developing your line. Because of CPSIA, the liability and legal requirements of children's products have changed and intensified.
