The US House has voted overwhelmingly to ban lead and other dangerous chemicals from certain items.

The legislation is intended to toughen rules for testing children’s products and give more power to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The legislation came about after a flood of goods from China were deemed hazardous to children.

The bill will also ban children’s products containing six different types of phthalates, which are chemicals that are found in plastics and suspected of posing health risks.

The 424-1 vote now sends the measure to the Senate.
