The lead paint limits only apply to certain products as described above and only apply to consumer products. In your example, the lead paint and lead content limits do not apply. Generally, a painters stilt is not a consumer product as defined under section 3 of the Consumer Product Safety Act. For example, it is not customarily sold to or used by a consumer, but rather, by professional painters in the scope of their employment. Moreover, painters stilts are not childrens products under the CPSIA. Back to FAQ Page Do all children’s products require testing for lead or is it only products with some type of surface coating? We sell products that are used in physical education classes (e.g. hula-hoops) that are made from polyethylene and are not painted or coated. Will this product require third-party testing and certification for lead content under the new CPSIA?
