I was just catching up on a little blog reading, and came across this from my friend Liza of A Diva and Two Princesses.
PLEASE, read this post, share it on your own blogs, and any other way you know how.
I know that many of my readers could be affected by this.
As someone who is in the middle of starting a business that will be completely affected by this, I know how concerned I am!
I also know that as someone who loves to purchase handmade gifts and other items, I will be affected in other ways.
As Liza says "We need to do something!", and I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly.
I know I will start researching today to figure out where I might be able to help . . . and I hope you will too!

I was thinking of you when I was reading about this!!
I did find a spot to send comments into the CPSIA, but it is only with regards to using components that have been tested instead of testing the final product. There is also a possibility of a caveat for goods made from all natural sources (like 100% cotton etc). Please let me know if you find more info...I will keep looking as well.
On my way to click and read about what is going on
I've read about this in a couple of different places. It looks like from this document (http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/rulemaking.pdf) that it will be a couple of years until it's FULLY in place. In the meantime we can fight it. What a crock of *&^% - it was such a covert bill, NO ONE even heard about it until just a month before it's supposed to start.
Going to check it out now :-)
Wow - that's crazy. I can't even imagine. I'm Canadian so it wouldn't affect me, but that would just impact thousands and thousands in the US. I can't believe it!!! I'll have to stay tuned to see what happens. Thanks for sharing the link!
I am so glad you posted about this! more people need to be made aware and need to do something about it!!
