There has been much talk about product safety in recent years. PPAI Law has worked diligently to lobby on our behalf, but have we come to the point where bad things start happening?
In this issue we share a story that should scare those who sell promotional products. What happened here clearly illustrates how government imposed requirements can have a negative effect on our business. See below for this story and see how one supplier is complying with the Consumer Product Safety Information Act (CPSIA) labeling standards.
I have contacted this supplier for their comments regarding their decision to place identifying numbers alongside a clients logo, but have not received a response. Each supplier handles these CPSIA standards differently, creating a variety of challenges. Is this the industry's worse nightmare? You decide.
PPAI has been very diligent lobbying on our behalf. Legislative challenges are complex and have a profound effect on our industry. Product safety is certainly not a new topic, the time has come however, where we can't close our eyes and ears anymore. We welcome your comments at the bottom of the article below.
