This is due to crazed feminists who don't approve of things "Phthallic" :-)

Actually, phthalates have been banned from any all all products that could possibly be intended for use by anyone 12 and under. That, along with lead. I had some of my products tested. My tie dye had no measurable lead content whatsoever. American made t-shirts using American made dye.

Jewelry on the other had was loaded with lead content. Many times its the clasp. But one cheapie black cord necklace even head lead in the cord (From China of course.) I had hemp necklace tested. One that I make, The hemp was fine, but the crow beads form India had a high parts per million lead content (surprisingly).

Phthalate compliance is required come August. Lead compliance next Tuesday with less than 600 ppm.
