Awesome give them h...... too while you are at it and do let us know what happens

[TheFurkidStudio]

You'll do great--please keep us posted. Go Denise!

[LaurieRyan]

well not h...... you know what I mean let them know what a stupid law this is and how it is going to further crash our already bad economy
that this issue is about the imports from asia and not what we make.
Ok off the soap box stepping down now

[MeowWow]

Denise, I hope I'll get to see it. I can't come to etsy every day, and I don't want to miss it.

Good luck. Keeping my fingers crossed!

[MeowWow]

Denise, I'm wondering whether it will affect sales in thrift shops. I help out at one, and people really need to be able come to them to buy fabric remnants and children's clothing.

Denise
Good luck and by all means keep us posted on any links to the story.

I am stressing Component Testing at the manufacturer level for all supplies, Technical Amendments issued by the CPSC and the idea that we do not want to fly under the radar for testing, but need a cost effective way to comply.


Am I missing anything?

[Former_Member]

Oh, and thanks everyone!

[Former_Member]

I think you've got it covered - stressing that we want to be able to comply and suggesting component testing, exemption of materials that are not typically known to contain lead, adoption of affordable testing standards that allow all companies to comply (i.e., XRF). GOOD LUCK!!!

[Former_Member]

Good luck! Definitely keep us all posted...

[handsewn]

you may want to work in the idea that people have been making handmade toys since the dawn of time and the pilgrims made their toys by hand.

[julianne]

Congrats! The ABC local station is interviewing me Sunday at 11am!

[handsewn]

good luck hipkids!

[Former_Member]

A atatement was put out last night that consignment and thrift shops are exempt, still no word on our type of merchandise....

[Former_Member]

Good luck! Definitely stress the "exemption of materials that are not typically known to contain lead" issue and having the testing done at the manufacturing level. AND reasonable testing fees.

[Former_Member]

Great, Hipkids...you finally got through to them (fingers crossed) You'll do great...because you believe.

[Former_Member]

loads and loads of good luck!!!
