Summary

Art and Craft Materials Labeling Act - Amends the Federal Hazardous Substances Act to make the art materials labeling requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials effective as a regulation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Requires manufacturers or repackagers of such materials to provide the Commission with the criteria used to determine whether or not such materials could cause chronic adverse health effects along with a list of materials that require hazard warning labels. Requires updates and revisions in labeling and standards as necessary. Directs the Commission to issue guidelines specifying criteria for determining when customary or foreseeable uses of such materials could result in a chronic hazard. Requires the Commission to review and amend such guidelines as appropriate. Directs the Commission to develop a list of art materials which are hazardous substances and require chronic hazard labeling based upon information submitted by producers or repackagers. Requires the Commission to develop a label statement for such materials and to distribute such list so that it is available to schools, day care centers, recreation facilities, and other institutions at which children use art materials.
