요약
In March of 2000, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) collectively docketed under Petition No. HP 00-3 petitions submitted by several petitioners requesting that the Commission ban candle wicks containing lead and candles with such wicks. A candle wick containing lead is one with a metallic core that contains lead. Based on information in those petitions and subsequent investigations by CPSC staff, the Commission has reason to believe that certain candles with wicks containing lead may emit toxic levels of lead as a result of normal use, and thus may contribute to substantial illness. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) initiates a rulemaking proceeding that could result in a rule banning certain candle wicks containing lead and candles with such wicks.\1\ This proceeding is commenced under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
