On January 30, 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a one-year stay of enforcement for certain testing and certification requirements for manufacturers and importers of regulated products, including products intended for children 12 years old and younger. These requirements are part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which added certification and testing requirements for all products subject to CPSC standards or bans. The stay did not however change the requirement that children's products meet lead content and phthalates limitations.

The ERGO Baby Carrier and related ERGObaby products fully comply with all of the requirements and limitations of the CPSIA, and undergo regular testing to insure that our products meet or exceed all applicable government regulations and industry standards to insure the safety of our customers and the children entrusted to us.
