And this bill is fantastic; except for one issue… it punishes small, home based toy manufactures. <BR/>Handmaid toys are a precious tradition in our nation, passed down from parent to child, these toys represent a pureness so rarely seen in our mass produced, media driven society. My wife and her sister make small handmade toys (stuffed dolls and the like) for children, my own child dresses in my wife’s princess consumes and sleeps with one of her small dolls, as so several of my wife’s customers children. <BR/>The CPSIA should be modified to take such small, personal, operations into account. I’m not a lawyer so in all honesty I don’t know want would be the best way to protect these small businesses, but I’m sure that there must be a way to do so.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your time<BR/><BR/>Pedro C BarrenecheaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
