The No Lead in Toys Act directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to act on a recent Government Accountability Office report that recommends stronger oversight of toxic substances—like lead and phthalates—in children’s products. Within 180 days, the CPSC must set up compliance monitoring, risk‑assessment processes, periodic reviews of lead standards, and updates on other hazardous chemicals. After completing these steps, the agency must report its actions to the relevant Senate and House committees. The bill mainly affects manufacturers of children’s toys and other products, as well as the CPSC and related testing labs.

Requires the CPSC to create a plan for overseeing compliance with e‑filing rules, use violation data to assess risks from labs, review lead safety rules every five years, and stay current on phthalates and other toxic chemicals.
