All products are tested to the highest domestic and international standards including but not limited
to ASTM F-963-7.The enactment of HR4040 – the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)
in August of 2008 created confusion throughout the industry from manufacturers and importers to
retailers. We are doing everything possible to keep all of our staff and our valued customers informed
on the latest regulations. We are working diligently to supply our retailers with the necessary
documents and certifications.

Phthalates

The CPSIA has set new limits of 0.01% total content of 6 different Phthalates commonly used as plastic softeners. It has been our policy for many years to use only the highest quality Phthalate and BPA free plastics in the production of all of our products.

Lead Content

The CPSIA has lowered the allowable limit of lead in surface coatings to 90ppm and created a new limit
of lead in substrate materials to 600ppm (to be lowered to 300ppm in August 2009). We have scanned
each and every one of our products using XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) technology to assure all of our
production is well below the newly set lead limits.

Certificates of Compliance

The CPSIA requires us to supply our customers with Certificates of Compliance for all items produced
after November 12, 2008. Creating, tracking and distributing these documents is a daunting task, to
say the least. As much of our current inventory was produced before November 12, 2008, we are not
legally required to distribute certificates for this product. However, in the interest of safety, compliance
and most of all, consumer confidence we are working day and night to create this documentation for
existing inventory. As new production is received in our warehouse we will have all required
certificates available for distribution at the retailer’s request.

We are setting up a request system through which the certificates will be distributed via email.
The Certificate of Compliance Request Form is available on www.kidspreferred.com . Please complete
the form and email it to info@kidspreferred.com or fax it to (732)274-2250. All requests will be fulfilled
in a timely manner.

Please note, due to the CPSC’s “Stay of Enforcement” voted into action late on January 30, 2009,
Certifications may not include the new CPSIA limits on lead and Phtahlates. We assure that all
products produced comply with the new CPSIA standards.
