美国华盛顿州提案含铅消费品需加贴标签
从 2010年1月1日起，生产商和销售商不得在华盛顿州销售铅含量超过0.009%的消费品，除非该产品对铅含量做出标识。
该限制不适用于所有边面尺寸小于0.5英寸的产品，或者在安装或使用时其含铅部位不与人体接触的产品。

正确的标识方法为在产品上以标签或印刻的方式，用不小于10磅大小的文字标识出铅的含量(如：“铅含量百分之八”)。
标识的位置必须在产品包装的外部，即消费者购买产品时可以看得到的地方，或者，如果含铅的消费品没有包装物，则标识应直接标注在产品本身上。
生产商、批发商和零售商不得移除法规要求的任何与铅含量有关的标签或印记。
备注：
“含铅消费品”指含铅的、出售给消费者，用于个人、家庭或家居使用的产品、商品、化学品或化合物，包括带有含铅或含铅化合物的部件的产品。

The State of Washington of the USA proposes to
label Lead-containing Consumer Products
Effective January 1, 2010, manufacturers and wholesalers may not sell a lead-containing
consumer product with lead greater than 0.009% in the state of Washington, unless the lead-containing product is labeled. This prohibition does not apply to products that are under 0.5 inchesin all dimensions, or products in which the lead portion of the product does not come into humancontact during installation or use.
Manufacturers are responsible for affixing the labels on lead-containing consumer products. Alead-containing consumer product is considered properly labeled if it has a label and an imprintidentifying the percentage content of lead in a minimum of 10 point font (e.g. "eight percent leadcontent"). The label must be on the outer portion of the package viewable to consumers at the timeof purchase, or, if the lead-containing consumer product is not contained in a package, thendirectly on the lead-containing consumer product. Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers areprohibited from removing any required label or imprint that relates to lead.
Notes:
“Lead-containing consumer product” means a product, commodity, chemical, or compound that contains lead and is being sold to a consumer for personal, family, or household use, including products with a component that contains lead or a lead compound.
“Package” means the immediate container or wrapping in which any product is contained formarketing, protecting, handling, or for use by consumers, and also means any outer container orwrapping used in the retail display of such a product to consumers. The Solution:
