Consumer Product Safety and the CPSIA
Arvato Digital Services LLC is dedicated to providing safe products for consumer use. To ensure safety, Arvato tests its products and packaging for lead and other hazardous materials with results showing that these substances are well below existing government regulatory limits or non-detectable.
With the newly-enacted Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), there are additional testing and certification requirements for certain manufactured goods, including CD, DVD, Xbox, Blu-ray, and DS products. Arvato is working diligently with laboratories accredited by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to ensure that its products comply with all aspects of the CPSIA which places further limits on the existence of lead and other heavy metals in paints, surface coatings and substrates of products, as well as on phthalates in substrates. Test results indicate that Arvato’s products listed below comply with all lead paint and content, and phthalate limits prescribed by the CPSIA.
Official information about the CPSIA can be found at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website: http://www.cpsc.gov/ABOUT/Cpsia/cpsia.HTML.
