WTH!!

OK, I want to keep my kids safe from lead too but this is INSANE!!

On Feb 10, 2009 Federal law "mandates that all products sold for those 12 and younger — including clothing — be tested for lead and phthalates, which are chemicals used to make plastics more pliable. Untested items will be considered hazardous, whether or not they contain lead."

HELLO!! Say goodbye to thrift store shopping (I will DIE first), EBAY, Etsy, Kid to Kid .... NO WAY!

Come on people. I think you need a reality check.
