Phthalates and lead are separate issues. CPSC stated “the legal analysis is different” when issuing their opinions that phthalates are NOT retroactive, but the lead standard IS retroactive.

I have seen resalers confusing this when saying they stopped taking pj's/sleepers (because of the non-skid coating on the feet.) They use phthalates in the coating and although the phthalates are not retroactive, the rest of the garment; fabric, thread, label, zipper, snaps and all and any other embellishments still need to meet the new lead standards.
