Question for those with a baby product line ...

[Guest guest]

... and this pertains to anyone who makes anything for kids, soap,

toys, clothes, quilted blankets, etc ..

 

I was wondering if with these new CPSIA act rules taking effect in

February .. what are you planning on doing with your kids product line?

 

Will you scrap it, rename it and market it not towards kids, will you

pay the fees for compliance testing, ignore the rules and take your

chances flying under the radar, other ... ?

 

I'm really curious, cause it seems just what we don't need in this

economy is more people being impacted negatively in any way biz wise

or being run out of business because of legislation that was not

thought through.

Does anyone know where to check the voting record on this, I would hate to slam

my local representatives if they voted against this. I intend to email and/or

call them today about this and voice my disapproval for this bill.  I have

knitted baby items for years and never had a problem, and was so impressed with

myself when I learned to crochet a baby hat and scarf last month.........., I

also bead baby bracelets, and nursing bracelets for shower gifts.  This is a

classic symptom of society today, we are all so focused on the war etc, that the

little stuff like this gets ignored by the general public and so it gets pushed

through with little fanfare.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I intend to take this to our local

craft shop and we will post a notice about this.

Alison, we'll have government links and suggestions for action within

the next week or so. Volunteers to help track down this info would

help. One of our coordinators probably has it, but we're busy writing

up the plan.

 

We're all woefully deficient on this info, I'll admit. The artisans at

Etsy are up in arms about this, they're going to be joining us

according to one of our volunteers.

I think for me, I will continue making the products as they can be for anyone

really. I will just put on my site that the product is mild, gentle etc...

things that Mom's look for in a baby product. I certainly am not going to stop

making products that are appropriate for babies or young children.

 

I will have to be creative about the new line I'm working on specifically for

little girls. Not sure how I'll handle that yet.

 

I am curious and anxious though to see how this will really unfold.
