JUVENILE & TOY MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS TURN TO JACOBY SOLUTIONS TO ENSURE CPSIA / CCPSA COMPLIANCE

Proprietary CORE Audit™ Evaluates Operational Readiness and Uncovers Compliance Issues

Wilmington, DE (November 15, 2011) – H.R.2715 Bill of the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) becomes Federal Law on January 1 with promises of strict enforcement by CPSC Commissioner Nancy Nord.  With manufacturers at risk of facing fines of $100,000 per violation, companies are faced with the challenge of navigating and understanding the evolving regulations to ensure readiness.  Fulfilling a much needed resource, manufacturing industry veteran Bill Jacoby offers his 10 plus years of experience and knowledge in operations and compliance to help companies by auditing their operations and manufacturing processes and offering solutions for areas that need to be addressed.

“We’ve developed a process intent on preventing expensive mistakes,” said Bill Jacoby, president and founder of Jacoby Solutions.  “The process identifies any weaknesses and gives the company the ability to troubleshoot and create solutions that ensure full CPSIA / CCPSA compliance.”

Jacoby developed the CORE Audit™ (Compliance Operations Readiness Engagement Audit), the company’s proprietary approach to business operations readiness.  The audit covers sixteen operational areas including Quality Control, Labeling and Tracking, Issue Escalation, Documentation & Record Keeping, and Incident Reporting as well as CCPSA readiness reporting areas that they are compliant and revealing areas that need immediate attention.

“What many companies don’t realize is that compliance does not stop at testing,” said Jacoby.  “And unfortunately, many businesses do not have the resources in house to decipher the changing law as it relates to their daily business operations.”

To fulfill this need, Jacoby Solutions serves as an affordable resource and consultant to small and medium companies in the juvenile, toy and craft and hobby manufacturers producing products domestically or abroad.  Services will be extended to other consumer product categories in Q1, 2012.
