Show full summary
- Families and children: Directs regular review of lead requirements and a process to stay current on phthalates. Aims to reduce children's exposure to these toxic substances.
- Manufacturers and testing labs: Requires a plan to oversee compliance with electronic filing and a process to use violations data to assess risks at independent and government laboratories. This changes how test data and lab performance are monitored.
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission: Would have 180 days to implement the GAO's children's product safety recommendations and then 60 days to report to Congress on the steps taken. It must also document a process to review lead rules every 5 years.

Stronger toy safety rules for families
This bill would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to implement the GAO children's product safety recommendations from the GAO report published January 22, 2026. The CPSC would have 180 days after enactment to do this. Implementation would include plans to oversee compliance with e-filing rules; a process to use violations data to assess risks at independent and government testing labs; reviewing lead requirements with a documented process to repeat such reviews every 5 years; and documenting how the agency keeps up to date on phthalates and other toxic substances. Not later than 60 days after the CPSC implements those recommendations, the CPSC Chair would have to send a report to the Senate Commerce Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee describing the steps taken.
