ON FEBRUARY 10. 2009 THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 2008 (CPSIA) GOES INTO EFFECT.
What this means is that all existing children's items including clothing, toys, books and all types of equipment essentially cannot be resold if they do not meet the new lead and phthalate standards. Not by consignment stores. Not by charitable organizations. Not on Craigslist. Not on Ebay. Not at your garage sale. Violations are punishable by stiff fines and jail time.
In addition, expensive testing standards for all products intended for children under 13 years old will effectively shut down many home based / crafting businesses.
