With the batch labeling requirements of the law and then the costs of testing (when the stay is lifted in Feb.) many, many small businesses will close. We seem to be losing our artisan crafters every week who just don't have the time, money, or patience to deal with this law. So while I agree with PureMothers statement about natural toys...I'm afraid we aren't going to have much to choose from soon!

Just another sign that something needs to change in DC! While I don't frequent the toy aisles for my kid very often, there's no guarantee that these toys wouldn't somehow end up in his mouth given his giving grandparents and relatives! Thanks for looking into this. Wow, I was not aware of that loophole. Just another sign that something needs to change in DC!

I'm not interested in my child playing with mass produced, run of the mill, cheap plastic toys anyway. Especially if they are connected with movie characters.
