I'm glad THAT'S cleared up.....however, to me, the law still has problems.

However, people who make children's toys or clothing -- even if it's a small operation in their basement -- will be required to prove to the government that their products do not contain lead before they can sell them

We don't make toys/clothing or anything like this; however, everyone knows small groups who make 'one of a kind' types of toys, etc won't be able to continue. That's too bad. If any of us thought Wal-mart was too large and the aspect of 'mom and pop stores with cute items to sell' went to the wayside.....this law will surely kill any remaining groups.
FWIW.....ever check out the Christmas lights and assessories so many of us buy/use? If you'll read closely, you'll see that MANY of those products contain lead and suggest 'washing your hands after handling because of the lead residue'. If this is news to you...I understand. Two years ago, I took some treelights back to the store because of this. To the manager and my surprise, ALL of the Christmas lights/items had this type of warning on them! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
Too bad. I can appreciate the cautions; but I believe it steps over the line by making it illegal in forcing small companies doing hand-made crafts, to 'test'.
Sincerely,
