The United States Senate recently passed a bill designed to make toys geared towards children 12 years and younger safer.  The bill sets new standards for materials that may be used for toys, including maximum lead amounts and banning certain types of plastics.  The bill also restricts toy sales by internet and magazines. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 89-3, and passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 424-1.  President Bush said that he will sign the bill into law.
