Lightning Source Scrambles to Comply With Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act
Responding to Customer Feedback
In response to customer comments and concerns regarding the inclusion of the new tracking label on all books—not just children's books—Lightning Source issued a second notification yesterday that this procedure only would be in place for a short period of time.
"The [Consumer Product Safety Commission] issued its guidelines regarding the tracking label requirement on July 20, 2009," the company notification stated. "Because of this short lead time, and because Lightning Source's title database currently contains over 1,000,000 titles not previously identified as 'children's' or 'non-children's,' as well as the unique nature of the one-off printing environment, applying the label to all books Lightning Source manufactures is the only solution for compliance with the CPSIA in the timeframe provided."
