Here it is! CPSIA interpretation changes

CPSC just announced clarification to the new law that would ban reselling kids items that had not been tested for lead:

"...sellers of used children's products, such as thrift stores and consignment stores, are not required to certify that those products meet the new lead limits, phthalates standard or new toy standards.

The new safety law does not require resellers to test children's products in inventory for compliance with the lead limit before they are sold. However, resellers cannot sell children's products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to have lead content, unless they have testing or other information to indicate the products being sold have less then the new limit. Those reseller that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties..."

We're good to go, people! We'll have testing available at our sale this season. Let's get these tainted toys out of circulation. 

Thanks for all your emails, calls and support! Thriftiness lives...
