If you don't know about CPSIA, you may be in for a shock.
CPSIA impacts parental rights, small businesses (esp. handmade), libraries / childrens' books, garage sales, thrift stores and more (yes, even ROCKS - garden variety - are being regulated under CPSIA).
In this recent feature, Mattel was given a "pass" while small businesses like ours still have NO special exemptions or representation in D.C.
Small Businesses (esp. those providing handmade "alternatives" to mass produced products) are right now fighting for more than survival - they're fighting to obtain equal representation under CPSIA ( the only companies appearing likely to survive the confusing, high-risk & expensive requirements of CPSIA are the large, mass producers).
