Direct the CPSC to ensure playgrounds, play surfaces & athletic fields for young athletes are safe by meeting the standards for lead & harmful chemicals set out in law for children’s products. The CPSIA of 2008 defines a children's product as a “consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger." Industry marketing of tire derived surfaces clearly target children’s use. Yet, the CPSC has balked at categorizing these surfaces as children’s products neither have they acted to make these surfaces safe for children. Therefore, please direct the CPSC to ensure these products comply with the statutory limits for children’s products, so that these surfaces are lead-safe & don't pose a contamination risk to children. http://www.safehealthyplayingfields.org
