Consumer product Safety Improvement Act


Consumer product Safety Improvement Act....
Sounds harmless doesn't it? The government having Americans best interests in mind.
NOT!
On February 10 a new law goes into effect All products for children 12 and under will need to be tested for lead. Companies who don't comply will be charged high fines. How does this affect us? Think about all the small mom and pop companies that you buy from....or ebay...or etsy.....can these afford to pay for the tests? Probably not. So out of business they will go and their products will no longer be available. Government control at its best!

To read more: Story 1, Story 2, Story 3 and mot importantly Story 4, The effect on libraries!

To read the full 62 page text of the new legislation CPSIA

Please write your senators, representatives, the CPSC, you local newspapers....spread the word so we can get this overturned.
