New CPSIA Law

Well I said I was going to blog every week. I didn't do a very good job at that last week. Instead I have had my hands full with items in my Etsy shop in regards to this new law. Many of us "MOMS" have had our hands full writing letters and trying to figure out this new CPSIA laws.

My take on the law anything you sell that can be used by a child under the age of 12 has to be tested. And of course at your cost. I have been reading 100s of blogs and chat boards to see if there is any clear cut rules. Heck even the CPSIA themselves seem to not have clear cut rules. I have voted on many sites in hopes that it will reach congress or even the President himself. I am very worried on how it is going to affect all us small handmade shops that sell handmade items to make a little extra for our household budget.

I have found one blog that gives a pretty good opinion of her views. The sad thing is I think many of us crafting Moms have the same views. I just hope we find a resolution that we can all live with or I fear many small homebased businesses run by Moms will soon be out of business.

Visit Trisha for more information and her views on this mess our represenatives have made.

To all the homebased Moms like myself out their. Lets keep sending those letters until someone finally hears us.
