Liz Hancock, U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Public Health Advocate, says that although Congress passed legislation to stop the sale of toys containing toxic phthalates by February 10th, 2009, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a legal opinion informing manufacturers that they will be allowed to sell these products until their inventory run out (0:20).
