Think of the American companies and crafters that will be put out of business because of this law? The government tells Americans to go green with one hand and then turns around in essence and tells us to throw away perfectly good inventory into landfills!!!! With the economy the way it is,how can the government justify taking American's livelihoods away from them-not to mention with the economy the way it is, consumers are looking to stretch every dollar they can and get the most for the money. How many people more will be on the unemployment line when this country already has a high rate as of now? The last time I heard the news, it was the Chinese(a few greedy ones)who caused this fiasco!!! Why are Americans being made to pay for what China did? My livelihood depends on what I sell to pay my bills-if this law goes into effect- I'am wiped out totally!!!! My materials are all purchased from American made companies. Is the government now saying that we cannot even trust American companies with this law? The last time I looked, we had laws already in place to protect against such a thing!!!

I called the CPSA hotline today and I was told that they are not set up to discuss the new law. They said that nothing was communicated to them as to how to direct inquiries except for an email which is: info@cpsc.gov. I made a comment that it seems a bit odd that this would be passed but yet no one has any information about it. I suppose that we shoot and then ask questions later. Mary Great article!

Nice to know your call was taken and your concerns heard. I would feel better if that was the case. So far not one response to my numerous emails. Snail mailing all my reps and staff over at CPSIA today. As far as letting people know, no one I've mentioned it to (shop keepers, other small businesses that would be affected, etc.) has even heard of it. And when I explain they are in disbelief and assure me I must be mistaken. I wish that was the case . . . I will get on the phone tomorrow. Nice to know your call was taken and your concerns heard.
