Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thank you for the clarification. I agree, some people can use cheap crap and slap a large price on something potentially dangerous- like the toy companies!! - Melissa Bell Wednesday, January 21, 2009 11:03 AM [sPAM] CPSIA I find this act in serious need of revision, but wanted to make one clarification to the discussion: The FAQs clearly state that the act applies to toys and DURABLE goods (i.e. furniture), and things that are intended or likely to be used for mouthing/chewing, such as teething rings and rattles. NOT clothing. So sweaters and caps and booties are not covered by this act. Neither are bathing products. That being said, I'm of mixed emotions. There are many fine artisans out there who use only the best materials for their products. There are also a lot of " crafter-wannabes " who don't think twice about buying the cheapest material from dubious sources, without regard to quality or safety. There needs to be some sort of consumer protection in place. Obviously this act goes overboard in the stringent requirements, but *something* should be done to make sure that " handcrafted " means " safe " . -Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
