| 113-s-2811 | 113 | s | 2811 | Children and Firefighters Protection Act of 2014 | Commerce | 2014-09-15 | 2014-09-15 | Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. | Senate | Sen. Schumer, Charles E. [D-NY] | NY | D | S000148 | 1 | Children and Firefighters Protection Act of 2014 - Prohibits manufacturers, distributors, or retailers from selling, manufacturing for sale, distributing in commerce, or importing into the United States any children's product or upholstered furniture that contains a flame retardant exceeding a specified amount of the total chemical content by weight for any part of the product or furniture. Specifies flame retardants that are subject to such prohibitions. Requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to appoint a chronic hazard advisory panel to study the effects on human health of all chemical flame retardants as used in such products or upholstered furniture. Directs the CPSC, after receiving a report from the advisory panel evaluating the full range of such retardants, to promulgate a final rule specifying retardants that are not already listed in this Act that may cause substantial personal injury or illness. Makes such CPSC-specified retardants subject to the prohibitions of this Act. | 2023-01-11T13:25:27Z |
