(CNN) -- Librarians across the United States are making noise about new federal restrictions on lead that could take books out of the hands of children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission Improvement Act requires all products, including books intended for children younger than 12, to meet new standards calling for lower lead content.Commission regulations, written in response to the law, take effect February 10. Even stricter limits will become effective in August.Paper, ink, covers and glues would need to pass lead content standards.
