The prohibition on phthalates applies to all parts of a toy or child care article as defined in section 108 of the CPSIA. There is no indication that only plasticized materials shall be tested. The CPSC may provide further guidance regarding the scope of the phthalate prohibition during the public meeting in December 2008.
