February 16, 2009, 12:32pm (report abuse)As a screen printer who focuses on providing sweatshop free and Eco friendly apparel it would be absurd to turn our $12.75 organic infant one piece w/ 2 color print into a $1200.00 unit to sell to the retailers that order from us. Component testing of the yarn, thread, snaps and our inks would suffice. Being charged to retest everything is currently causing us to tell our clients we are not printing their children's lines until this is resolved.

February 26, 2009, 12:48pm (report abuse)No child has ever been harmed by lead in a book, yet, thanks to the CPSIA, my library is pulling all their 1985 and earlier children\'s books and will have to dispose of them.
I keep hearing that the destruction of the motor bike industry, the removal of all children's products from thrift stores, the banning of pre-1985 books if they've not been tested- these are all 'unintended consequences.' If they are unintended consequences, why not fix them? Senator DeMint's reform bill is vital.
