CPSIA, Prop. 65 on the Agenda at VCF Conference
Issues such as the Consumer Product Safety Information Act (CPSIA), Proposition 65 and 10+2 will be the main topics of discussion at the Vendor Compliance Federation’s “New Mandates in Retail Compliance” conference, set for July 20–21 in San Francisco.
CPSIA and Prop. 65 have become hot issues of compliance for retailers. CPSIA holds manufacturers accountable for the lead content in their children’s products. Prop. 65 regulates hazardous-material content in consumer products.
The VCF conference will address these and other current topics such as the 10+2 importer security filing, overseas consolidation and DC bypass, green initiatives and sustainability, port consolidation, and C-TPAT.
The event will take place at The Stanford Court hotel, located at 905 California St.
A panel of leading retailers and manufacturers will lead the discussions for the event, which is expected to be attended by mostly footwear- and apparel-industry representatives.
South Plainfield, N.J.–based VCF is an organization aimed at facilitating profitable relationships between retailers and suppliers by conducting educational conferences, workshops and seminars and providing Web-based portal and contact registry tools, strategic research and advisory services, publications, benchmarking studies, and other resources.
