Getting out the word.





Many of you may already be aware of the new law inacted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Starting February 10 of this year, all producers of children's products will be required to have expensive testing done before selling products. This testing would make many small businesses/crafters unable to sell their products: anything from diapers to hairbows, lunch boxes to wooden blocks, dresses to knitted hats. This basically does away with the free market on which our nations economy should be founded, at least in children's products. (I really wish government would keep its nose out of the economy, but maybe that is my uninformed opionion.) Anyway, there are several sites that go into more detail. Here and here are a couple of really good ones with links on how you can make a difference.
