Senate Passes Safety Bill for Toys
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.
