DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON TV OR READ IN THEClick! To Sign Our Petition! NEWSPAPERS!

Kid's resale, consignment and thrift stores are NOT 'exempt' from the law called CPSIA.

This poorly written, sweeping legislation applies to ALL children's products for children aged 12 years and younger. If a resale, thrift or consignment store is found to contain any product, with any ONE PART of it that tests at over 600 ppm the owner can be held on civil and criminal charges! Fines of $100,000 or more and jail time! While NO RETAILER, under this law is required to test products, the poor wording in this law does not explain exactly HOW we are to KNOW if ANY ONE PART or component of any kid's item, including clothing contains over 600 ppm of lead - tada - unless it is tested. While the CPSC 'says' they don't 'intend' to focus on inspecting kid's resale, consignment and thrift shops - WE WANT IT IN WRITING!

WE WANT TO BE LEGAL! Help us! This affects your kid's school library, public libraries; eBay, craigslist and etsy.com sellers, makers on handmade kid's products and clothing, handmade kid's toys, school supplies, religious supplies like rosaries, bikes, telescopes used in science experiences, stuff sold at amusement parks and MORE!

CALLING CONGRESS IS BEST - but also click to vote!
