http://www.cpsc.gov/cpsia.pdf
This blog is all about the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. A well-intentioned piece of legislation enacted in August of 2008 which effectively stops resale of all items (for use by children 12 and under) that cannot be proven to meet the new lead and phthalate standards. This law will also make home based crafting businesses follow these same requirements and effectively put them out of business.
