What about the snaps on "Onesies"?

I don't sell kids clothes, but I do make embellish them and give them as shower gifts, and I was wondering since Gerber Onesies *and most other onesies* have the snaps on them, does that make them not in compliance with the new law? Or what's taking affect after 2010?

Just wondering...

Re: What about the snaps on "Onesies"?

Even if they are compliant, it is my understanding that you would have to have the new item tested since you are embellishing it and therefore changing it. This thread has all the links to CPSIA

I believe that stainless steel snaps are exempt.

twinkletoesdiapers is right as long as the stainless steel snaps that are not painted they're exempt.
Also 2sweetthings is correct in saying that once something is altered, & I don't mean by tailoring, even a once compliant item would need retesting by the seller before listing the item for sale come Fed 10th 2010. Until then the stay of testing is in effect, so all you need is a "good faith effort" to show compliance. Having the GCC or COC from the "blanks" manufacturer and the suppliers of the items that you use to embellish with is one way to show the "good faith effort".

Since you are not selling but giving item as a gift perhaps all you need is just a a piece of mind from the manufacturers of the body suits and the manufacturers of the raw materials in the embellishments that their products contain no lead. Give them a quick call or send them an e-mail that might help you put your mind to at ease.
