i design jewelry for both adults and children. however, due to these new rules i have not posted any jewelry to sell. so let me see if i have this right... every single individual childrens design i create needs to be tested? and then every single time i re-order supplies (despite it being the same exact item) it then needs to be re-tested?
i am sorry but this is absurd. upon reading all of these posts i had thought ok, i will send off my items to be tested. but after reading a previous post stating it could cost me thousands - how are we supposed to afford this? while i could see a need for certain items needing to be tested, a line needs to be drawn! perhaps asking the major manufacturers to test their items would somehow make more sense. there is such a thing called - common sense. if something looks questionable to a parent in terms of quality or safety, why would you give it to your child? i am sorry to vent it is just that my head is spinning after reading all of this legal mumbo jumbo and then further reading post after post after post.
i fear that every etsy seller whose product *may* even come into possible contact with a child under the age of 14 is having a panic attack right about now...
