I only found out about the consumer product safety improvement act from 2/10/2008 three days ago. To the best of my knowledge bmerry1, the law will NOT be 'amended'.
I am appalled at this, as is everyone here.
Even I someone who makes only art work, will eventually be affected by this law. I know fashion designers who can't even get their work 'out there'. I know gallery owners who want to show my baskets, but now CAN'T because the stuff they already have in their galleries aren't showing (so no space).
That's why I came here.
There is one thing we can do. Find the locations of every congressmen and senator (rep, dem, ind ... whatever)..........write them, PHONE them, PICKET THEM and let them know this law is WRONG!
Write to the newspapers and tell them, and SHOW THEM how your business will be affected!
All my prayers are with everyone (myself included) affected by this horrific 'act' of OVER REGULATION!
