The new clarifications say they can resell an item and they are not required to certify it is free of lead. Here is the quote from the posted article:

"The new safety law does not require resellers to test children’s products in inventory for compliance with the lead limit before they are sold. However, resellers cannot sell children’s products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to have lead content, unless they have testing or other information to indicate the products being sold have less than the new limit. Those resellers that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties."

So the issue is that if an item has been tested and found to exceed the levels, then a reseller can't sell that item. They can however sell items that are likely to not have lead.

I'm wondering if the CPA will begin a website that list items that have not met the certification similar to the one for items that have been recalled. How else do they expect a thrift store to know about these things. It is still too broad and very convoluted. I imagine we are in for many , many changes to this law in the future. It is the equivalent to throwing the baby out with the bath water.
