We need to follow this deveopment and email President Obama with our concerns. The Chairperson apparently has a lot of power over what may ultimately happen with regards to the CPSIA implementation. This law needs to be rewritten to protect the small business and not leave it up to one person's interpretation. That is just wrong. I have encouraged my congressperson's to support Jim Demint of South Carolina to rewrite this law.

Exactly "for the Children" or "think of the Children" started being a red flag with "No child left behind" and is now pretty much implanted in a concrete flag stand.

Trinlayk reading about your coat brought to mind something I did years and years ago. I remember taking a "worn out" coat from an adult lady, carefully taking it apart, turning all of the fabric over, and making a child's coat. Came out very well. Was really pretty fabric on the inside so the completed child's coat looked brand new. In the 60's and 70's, we had to make do with what we all had. We didn't waste things like so many people do today.
