Summary
CPSC expanded lead content testing exemptions to include certain untreated/unfinished engineered wood products, but clarified firms remain liable for CPC certification and enforcement if end product exceeds 100 ppm lead.
Why it matters
Sellers of children's products with wood components must reassess testing scope. Exemption from testing does not exempt from compliance certification. Non-compliance remains enforceable regardless of material exemption claimed.
Recommended action
Review children's product inventory for wood component content. Confirm CPC certifications account for end-product lead limits. Do not assume material exemptions reduce testing or liability obligations.
