CPSC Overkill
On February 10, in response to last year's spate of toy recalls, a new law will take effect which requires product testing for any item intended for use by children 12 and under (toys, clothing, hair accessories, cloth diapers, cd's, books - ANY ITEM!). While at first blush it sounds good, it will devastate the home-crafting industry and many other small-scale sellers of children's products, who will be unable to afford the $4000 per item price tag for the testing (and who were not involved in the recalls of Chinese-made lead-contaminated toys).
Please click on the above image for more info and consider contacting your congress person/ senator (links to those are in the above article). Thanks!

This is the most ridiculous thing. Can you really imagine? So what about the kid that picks up a rock from a yard and chokes on it? Should the rock sellers have their product tested because it is being installed in a home with children? What if I decide not to give my kids toys, and let them play with the wrapping paper? Is that going to be tested because they have access to it? Do I as a parent not have ANY responsibility for my child?????
