LaurieRyan, resellers are not OK with reselling certain items, please read this....
Here is a link to what the OP is talking about (I think), please read all of it, it is not good news and does not let resellers off the hook IMO....
http://cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09086.htmlThis paragraph is the significant one as far as I am concerned, as a Vintage dealer there is no way I can be sure my products meet the new requirments.
"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 than the new limit. Those resellers that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties."
And OP, those items are being "considered" by the CPSC for exemption but the woman who said they may be was the CPSC lawyer who just resigned.
