Requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to grant an exception to such lead limit for a specific product, class of product, material, or component part under certain circumstances. Sets forth exemptions from the limit on lead content in children's products, including for used products. Amends the Consumer Product Safety Act to authorize CPSC to revise third party testing regulations. Requires CPSC to exempt small batch manufacturers from such testing requirements if no alternative testing requirement is available or economically practicable, except for manufacturers of certain children's products. Excludes certain products from third party testing, including books. Prohibits subdividing production of products to evade third party testing requirements. Applies limits on phthalates in children's toys or child care articles to plasticized component parts of such toys or articles, unless such a component is not accessible to a child. Authorizes CPSC to: (1) exclude a specific product or class of products from regulations requiring that products contain distinguishing marks to identify production information if it is not practicable for such product or class of products to bear such marks; and (2) establish alternative requirements for identification of products. Revises provisions regarding reports of harm relating to the use of consumer products for the database on the safety of consumer products. Gives the CPSC the authority to issue subpoenas for the production of physical evidence.
