In August 2008, Congress passed a new law called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 2008.  The new law was passed to protect our children against lead poisoning.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires manufacturers to certify that children’s products made after February 10, 2009 meet all of the new safety standards and the lead ban.  “Children’s products with more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead cannot lawfully be sold in the United States on or after February 10, 2009, even if they were manufactured before that date.”  Consignment Sales and Thrift Stores are not required to test all products they receive for resale; however, as a consignment sale we are expected to not accept and sell any products on the CPSC Recall list or banned lead list.

In the best interest of our children, Kidcycle will NOT accept items that appear on the CPSC recall or banned list.  As a consignor you must review this list www.cpsc.gov and be sure that you do not bring items on this list to consign.

We’ll ask each consignor to verify that all items are acceptable based on the recall list.   Any items pulled from the sale not meeting these new guidelines will not be returned to the consignor. If you would like further clarification on an item, please contact us at info@kidcyclenc.com.
