Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 2008 (CPSIA)

CPSIA was signed by President Bush in August 2008 to amend the provisions of the original consumer goods safety law. The main purpose of CPSIA is to (I) strengthen the safety standards for consumer goods, (II) strengthen the safety requirements for children's goods, and (III) improve the consumer goods safety committee. YKK does not produce consumer goods, but its products are widely used in consumer goods. The impact of CPSIA's main specifications on our customers' products and YKK's statement are as follows:
