Don't forget that the CPSIA will apply to inventory, too!!

"This item, in compliance with CPSIA legislation, is not meant for children 12 and younger." Even if the item is a vintage coat, or baby quilt, the label will read something along the lines of "The item is meant to be a collector's item. (A piece of history meant to remind you of a simpler time when parents were allowed to use their own good judgment when buying/making items for their children, without the government's interference.) Please keep out of the reach of children 12 and under, to remain within compliance of CPSIA legislation." How ridiculous!

How ridiculous!

I've collected a lot of childrens clothes that I was going to sell on ebay this spring; if this law is enforced the way the CPSA wants to; it'll all end up unsold and in a landfill.
