Re: The Today Show mentioned the lead law and our year reprieve.

That's where I saw it this morning, on the Today Show... just a quickie, but they specifically stated that it was because of Chinese imports, which is understandable with all the reports of children's items being found so unsafe lately. Also why I questioned (on another thread) why they've extended it to domestic handmade items, since I doubt that was the original intent of the law. As usual, the gov't gets involved and carries it a step too far.

designsbycher:

the problem isn't that they "extended" it to include domestic handmade, but that the law is so completely covers the industry as a whole, with no consideration of the fact that micro-home based businesses or even small manufacturing businesses EVEN EXIST.

It's written as if the ONLY people making stuff for kids are Mattel, Hasbro, FisherPrice and Gerber...
