Please check out the Handmade Toy Alliance sight. In about a month a bill will be passed that requires ALL childrens products to undergo third party testing to ensure that they are lead-free. This sounds good but there is no exception for small businesses that can't afford the fees associated with third-party testing. This will put practically every small business that sells childrens items out of business as well as several of my close friends. Many European companies have already decided that they can no longer afford to sell in our country (which really makes no sense because the EU has much more stringent standards for childrens products) Isn't this what America is all about....small businesses. I mean really what is the World coming to? This is something that is really important to me and I have already written my senators and Congressmen.
