CPSC Press Release - creates a double edged sword!

CPSC Press Release

As Adele, from NARTS has said, This "press release", issued to provide clarification to the resale market, is a double edged sword!

This is not a ruling, it's not an exemption, it's an attempt to quell the groundswell. Please keep up the good work, folks.

From a post Cynthia made on another board - here's her interpretation:

• No clarification was made at all, not one thing (GC's were never required for products made prior to November 12th).
• The law as CPSC interprets is what they say it is unless CONGRESS AMENDS THE LAW
• That the CPSC is overwhelmed by all the phone calls and letters and is also been getting lots of pressure from Congress to try and figure out a way to make this hue and cry - and all the darn phone calls, em's and letters go away - now - and get the press to stop reporting about it
• That the CPSC doesn't have enough funding to effectively police all the yard sales, eBay, Craigslist and resale and thrift shops - but, if an inspector does catch you - you are toast.
