There is a new law that comes into effect Feb. 10th.
It states that all handmade products have to be submitted for mandatory third-party testing to make sure they don't have lead or phthalates in them. This has been brought on because of all the toxic toys that have recently come from China. This does not effect only toys, but clothing books, fabrics and any other item intended for a child under 12.
While the original intention of this law is good , it will have some serious side effects on small , home based company's.
This will not effect large company's who manufacture children's products , but this could shut down home based businesses. The law will require every product to be tested. This is a huge expense that most company's can not afford. We are talking thousands of dollars worth of testing ! Every paint, every color, every material must be tested.
Thriving small businesses are crucial to the financial health of our nation. Let's amend the CPSIA so that all businesses large and small are able to comply and survive!
Please contact your representatives and tell them you do not support the CPSIA as it currently is written.
