Thanks Christina for blogging about this and helping to spread the word that the resale, consignment and thrift business is also severely impacted by this law.

Voice your opposition to the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act by mailing one used piece of clothing (please mail clean clothing only) to your Senators and Congressmen. Let them know how you feel about this new law.

I own a children's resale store and I am freaking out that this may put me out of business. No one can answer my questions on how this will effect resale. if you read the act as written then there is no way I will be able to comply. In this era of consumerism we now have a whole new society of moms that are learning that resale is good for everyone. When your newborn only wears an outfit once why wouldn't you want someone else to benefit from it. Instead of giving it away to Goodwill resale shops offer a way to make a little cash and do your part to recycle and not be so wasteful. Haven't we learned our lesson???

Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater why don't we ban importing anything from China, promote US manufacturing and industry and quit punishing the American people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This stinks! I have 2 kids and I am a single mom. I buy all my kids clothes from thrift and second hand shops. I cannot afford to buy things new for them...we have to eat!

CPSC Spokeswoman Chastises ‘Mommy-Bloggers’ On TV

Did you see the video from Baltimore Channel 11 where, for the first time someone from CPSC is interviewed on air? Yep. She disparages ‘mommy-bloggers’ for spreading ‘misinformation’ on the internet! Do you believe this? (Of course, the poor sacrifical lamb has already resigned, her last day is tomorrow) Gee, why do you think they picked her to go on camera?

There is a closed door Congressional Staffer meeting tomorrow about CPSIA. Today and tomorrow would be a REALLY good day to CALL, email and FAX everyone in congress you can think of as well as the CPSC.

We would also appreciate you continuing to spread the word to go to http://www.savekidsresale and Click! to vote (the petition has over 70,000 signatures) as we intend to print out all 500 pages and distribute it to Congressional members tomorrow. As you know, the CPSC has done it’s best to quell the uproar our little corner of this devil in diapers that is CPSIA by their infamous ‘Press Release’.

Thanks so much! Here’s the video http://savekidsresale.squarespace.com/recent-news-stories-video/
