If you package or buy packaged CDs/DVDs in any type of plastic materials, are you aware of CPSC Law (Consumer Product Safety Commission) and why it has been updated?
There have been more and more products made outside the United States being identified as containing very harmful substances after the products were imported in the United States and purchased by consumers.
The raw material stream outside the United States is not regulated and controlled as in the United States. Business practices in other countries are not at the same level of concern for the end users as in the United States.
The U.S. consumer's thirst for lower and lower priced goods has driven retailers and distributors to purchase goods outside the United States. Unfortunately, this is clearly based more upon price than the quality of the product or the business practices followed by these manufacturers.
Through the efforts of several organizations in the CD/DVD Industry in the United States, it has been documented that CD and DVD plastic packaging products from outside the United State are coming into the United States with these harmful chemicals.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has updated the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) as a result of the many products that have surfaced with safety issues regarding the chemicals contained within these products.
The CShell Product line has been tested and certified to meet this new requirement.
