According to Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) new federal limits regarding the amount of lead allowed in children's products, including jewelry, took effect on August 14, 2009, dropping from 600 parts per million (ppm) to 300 ppm. The new limits are part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008, which Congress passed in the wake of a number of recalls of children's products due to high lead levels. The law applies to all products made for children 12 and under.
