CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY

16 CFR Chapter II 

[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0087] 

Petition Requesting Regulations 

Restricting Cadmium in Children’s 

Products 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘CPSC’’ 

or ‘‘we’’) has received a petition 

requesting standards restricting 

cadmium in children’s products, 

especially toy metal jewelry. On 

September 6, 2011, the Commission 

granted the petition and directed CPSC 

staff to begin drafting a proposed rule 

unless a voluntary standard for 

cadmium in children’s jewelry is 

published by ASTM International, Inc. 

(‘‘ASTM’’) within three months after 

September 16, 2011. If a voluntary 

standard for cadmium in children’s 

jewelry is published by ASTM within 

this timeframe, then CPSC staff is 

directed to assess the adequacy of the 

voluntary standard and whether there is 

substantial compliance with the 

voluntary standard and based on these 

assessments make a recommendation on 

the disposition of this petition within 

nine months after September 16, 2011. 

In addition, the Commission granted 

the petition and directed CPSC staff to 

begin drafting a proposed rule unless a 

voluntary standard for cadmium in 

children’s toy jewelry is published by 

ASTM within three months after 

September 16, 2011. If a voluntary 

standard for cadmium in children’s toy 

jewelry is published by ASTM within 

this timeframe, then CPSC staff is 

directed to assess the adequacy of the 

voluntary standard and whether there is 

substantial compliance with the 

voluntary standard and based on these 

assessments make a recommendation on 

the disposition of this petition within 

nine months after September 16, 2011.

1Chairman Inez M. Tenenbaum and 

Commissioners Thomas H. Moore and Robert S. 

Adler voted to take this action. Commissioners 

Nancy A. Nord, and Anne M. Northup voted to 

defer the petition (HP10–2) for an additional six 

months and direct staff to continue its participation 

in the ASTM F15.24 subcommittee to develop a 

voluntary standard addressing accessible cadmium 

from children’s metal jewelry, as well as continue 

its participation in the ASTM F15.22 subcommittee 

to amend the ASTM F963 toy safety standard. 

Chairman Tenenbaum and Commissioner Nord 

issued statements which are available at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

28, 2010, the Empire State Consumer 

Project, Sierra Club, Center for 

Environmental Health, and the 

Rochesterians Against the Misuse of 

Pesticides (‘‘petitioners’’) submitted a 

petition stating that the Commission 

should issue regulations to ban 

cadmium in all toy jewelry under the 

Federal Hazardous Substances Act 

(‘‘FHSA’’), 15 U.S.C. 1261 et seq. The 

request was docketed under the FHSA 

as Petition No. HP 10–2. 

Petitioners requested that the 

Commission adopt regulations declaring 

that any toy metal jewelry containing 

more than trace amounts of cadmium by 

weight, which could be ingested by 

children, be declared a banned 

hazardous substance. If the Commission 

finds that it lacks sufficient information 

to determine the appropriate level of 

cadmium in products, petitioners 

requested that the Commission, as an 

interim measure, adopt the maximum 

levels established for lead. In addition, 

petitioners requested a test method 

based on total cadmium, which 

simulates a child chewing the jewelry 

before swallowing, by cutting the metal 

jewelry in half, and evaluating the 

extractability of cadmium from 

children’s metal jewelry based on a 24- 

hour acid extraction period. Petitioners 

also asserted that if the CPSC has 

insufficient information regarding 

cadmium, it should obtain additional 

information under the Interagency 

Testing Commission (‘‘ITC’’) through 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(‘‘TSCA’’) administered by the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’) to include metal jewelry in the 

scope of reporting under section 8(d) of 

the TSCA and require importers and 

processers to test toy metal jewelry for 

cadmium. 

On February 16, 2011, the 

Commission voted unanimously to defer 

its decision on the petition for six 

months and directed CPSC staff to 

participate in the ASTM subcommittees. 

Specifically, the Commission directed 

staff to participate in the ASTM F15.24 

subcommittee to develop a voluntary 

standard addressing accessible 

cadmium from children’s metal jewelry 

and to work with the ASTM F15.22 

subcommittee on the ASTM F963 

standard with respect to toy jewelry. 

On August 30, 2011, CPSC staff 

provided the Commission with an 

update regarding the voluntary 

standards activities under the ASTM 

subcommittees that would address 

cadmium in children’s jewelry and toy 

jewelry. The update is available on the 

CPSC Web site at: http://www.cpsc.gov/ 

LIBRARY/FOIA/FOIA11/brief/ 

cadmiumpetupd.pdf. CPSC staff 

indicated that the work on those 

standards was expected to be completed 

in 2011. 

On September 6, 2011, by a 3–2 vote,1

the Commission granted the petition 

and directed CPSC staff to begin drafting 

a proposed rule unless a voluntary 

standard for cadmium in children’s 

jewelry is published by ASTM within 

three months after September 16, 2011. 

If a voluntary standard for cadmium in 

children’s jewelry is published by 

ASTM within this timeframe, then 

CPSC staff is directed to assess the 

adequacy of the voluntary standard and 

whether there is substantial compliance 

with the voluntary standard and based 

on these assessments make a 

recommendation on the disposition of 

this petition within nine months after 

September 16, 2011. 

In addition, the Commission granted 

the petition and directed CPSC staff to 

begin drafting a proposed rule unless a 

voluntary standard for cadmium in 

children’s toy jewelry is published by 

ASTM within three months after 

September 16, 2011. If a voluntary 

standard for cadmium in children’s toy 

jewelry is published by ASTM within 

this timeframe, then CPSC staff is 

directed to assess the adequacy of the 

voluntary standard and whether there is 

substantial compliance with the 

voluntary standard and based on these 

assessments make a recommendation on 

the disposition of this petition within 

nine months after September 16, 2011. 

The Commission further directed 

CPSC staff to issue a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing the 

outcome of the vote and status of the 

petition. Thus, this notice announces 

the vote that occurred on September 6, 

2011, the actions that the Commission 

directed CPSC staff to take, and the 

status of the petition.
