Bill Summary
Relative to children’s products and upholstered furniture containing certain flame retardants. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Children and Firefighters Protection Act of 2016," aims to prohibit the sale of children's products and upholstered furniture that contain certain specified flame retardant chemicals. The bill defines these chemicals, including TDCPP, TCEP, TBBPA, and others, and prohibits the manufacture, distribution, or import of products containing these chemicals in excess of 1,000 parts per million by weight. The bill also requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to convene a chronic hazard advisory panel to study the potential health effects of these and other flame retardant chemicals, and to specify any additional chemicals that should be prohibited under the act. The bill provides enforcement mechanisms and establishes an effective date of one year after enactment.
