All

lol, threads got deleted. Best we can determine J Law is in jail riding at starwest hung over doesn't care or been raptured today being may 21st (you know end of the world and all) Take your pick, now lets talk about the rest of the poor souls who were left behind and are actually going to race today!!!

You didn't know??? Today is May 21st end of the world!!! J-Law got raptured!

There is no law about bringing them into this country, or using them once they are here. Just against selling them. Canada doesn't have such a law, just saying......

The exclusion is for phthalates not for lead. so motorcycles could probably contain phthalates but lead isn't given an exemption so the point is mute, unless of course you have a motorcycle that doesn't contain lead in any accessable part--say all lead was limited to inner motor parts that a child couldn't touch.

You get all that UNLESS you are under 13, then the pin may contain lead, the sticker may contain phthalate, the bandana may contain phthalate, so you MAY get a patch and protect your right to ride, sorry can't do that either.

You bring up good points, BUT the way the law is written it is retroactive. So something manufactured before still has to comply to be sold, not used, but sold. Even by a reseller. This is part of the problem with the law. Selling your used stuff still probably won't get you into trouble, but selling new stuff would. Especially...

Enforcement was not delayed, just certification requirements. As a matter of fact in the announcement about the delay it specifically says compliance is REQUIRED from the CPSC site Sellers will not be immune from prosecution if CPSC’s Office of Compliance finds that someone had actual knowledge that one of these children’s products contained more than 600 ppm lead or continued...

I probably can't use the seatbelt as the buckle may contain too much lead Oh, and my little ones can't use that famous number 2 pencil at school anymore.

Alot of the items pulled recently from clothing stores were pulled because of rivits, zippers and other functional pieces which because they contain metal are suspect. The manufacturer cannot afford to not be in compliance because fines start at $100,000. How about kneebraces, helmets(for any sport), boots with metal pieces(also tennis shoes with rivits or any laceup shoe for that...

The starting fine for violating the CPSIA is $100k and the CPSC has been given over 100M for enforcement of the law, you taking your stuff to ebay?Directly from the CPSC site: Question 14: I run a small shop that sells new and used clothes, jewelry, shoes and toys for children. Do I need to test the products I sell...

Yeah, the clothing industry/ toy industry/ alot of small business associations/ WAHM's organizations/ ETSY and even EBAY have been working on this for months, glad the AMA came out of hiding to help us. The new laws are beyond ridiculous, and the limits prior to this were far below what would be lethal/dangerous. Plus how many 12yo's do you know...

The clothing people/ second hand shops have been fighting this for MONTHS now. Sorry it has effected you, but welcome to the fight. Strange I couldn't get my husband to even acknowledge the issue yesterday when it just effected "childrens clothing and toys" but now he is calling everyone he knows to talk about it, lol. Oh, and it effects...
