Anything made (the finished product) for children 12 and under has to be tested by a 3rd party for lead. Yep it's a stupid very vague law. You will find this interesting. This is a video from woman working for the CPSA.... http://www.momdot.com/cpsia-insults-mommy-bloggers/Melanie @ Whimsical Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109731889293246835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959818270474011271.post-8530514980680399612009-01-16T06:30:00.000-08:002009-01-16T06:30:00.000-08:00I got that section from this website...http://www....I got that section from this website...<BR/><BR/>http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09086.htmlShelley Fugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025805641615991424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959818270474011271.post-80797330660672536262009-01-16T06:29:00.000-08:002009-01-16T06:29:00.000-08:00Yes, but I read this part of the law and would thi...Yes, but I read this part of the law and would think it would give you an "out"...<BR/><BR/>Beginning February 10, 2009, children’s products cannot be sold if they contain more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead. Certain children’s products manufactured on or after February 10, 2009 cannot be sold if they contain more than 0.1% of certain specific phthalates or if they fail to meet new mandatory standards for toys.<BR/><BR/>Since yours contains no lead at ALL, it doesn't make sense according to this why you would have to go under testing. Just curious. :-)Shelley Fugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025805641615991424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959818270474011271.post-85151297594966380052009-01-15T19:38:00.000-08:002009-01-15T19:38:00.000-08:00Hey Shelly,I know...this legislation is absolutely...Hey Shelly,<BR/>I know...this legislation is absolutely ridiculous! Of course there is no lead in fabric. There is no lead or toxins in our products and there never has been!! However, the law applies to ALL products made for children ages 0-12 years. Originally, the law was made to keep the lead tainted imported toys off the market. However, the way the law is written, it will affect all makers of children's toys, clothes, etc. There is going to be a huge impact on all producers of handmade children's products. If you think this law is as ridiculous as many of us do, please contact your congressman. There are many other things you can do...just click on the "save handmade" button on the top of our blog to find out.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033771633131972635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959818270474011271.post-53793253401096899692009-01-15T18:53:00.000-08:002009-01-15T18:53:00.000-08:00Hi, my name is Shelley and I live in Franklin, IN....Hi, my name is Shelley and I live in Franklin, IN. :-) Just south of you! I saw your line of products at the Imagination Station. I think they are fantastic! I do have a question. Since you primarily work with fabric, why would this law affect you? Is there lead in fabric? <BR/>a little confused...Shelley Fugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025805641615991424noreply@blogger.com
