    Toymakers Frustrated by Patchwork of Safety Rules

    From The WashingtonPost.com:

    In an attempt to avoid a repeat of last year's wave of tainted-toy recalls, lawmakers in eight states have imposed restrictions on potentially toxic substances in children's products such as lead, cadmium and phthalates. Phthalates, chemicals used to make plastics, have been linked to reproductive problems.

    Children's product manufacturers such as Hasbro and Mattel and toy retailers such as Toys R Us are echoing Tucker's sentiments. They argue that having different state regulations on children's products will keep safe toys off the market.
