From 2007 until 2012, Doug Lanphere served as the senior consultant for consumer products with a U.S.-based CPSC-accredited laboratory. With the passage of The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in 2008, he began work on incorporating the new regulatory requirements for children’s products into the testing processes of the laboratory. He helped secure the CPSC accreditation for the testing and certification of children’s products. During this time, he worked closely with manufacturers and importers of record to help them understand the regulatory requirements of the children’s products they manufactured or imported in the United States. Through this process, his knowledge of regulations, standards, and other requirements for children’s products grew as he worked closely with many different types of clients, advising them of their responsibility in the manufacture or import of children’s products.
In late 2012, he joined Jacoby Solutions LLC to provide manufacturers and importers, compliance consulting for the United States and the Global Markets. As a member of the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), he served on twenty Technical Subcommittees covering all types of Juvenile Products covering products ranging from Highchairs to Baby Swings.

He managed compliance projects to ensure that all products and processes followed applicable governmental agency and industry regulations and safety standards.
