Will We Lose Children's Consignment Stores Feb. 10?

The Consumer Product Safety Commission may have just put an end to children's consignment sales. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) passed in August changed the lead standard for all children's products, from clothes to toys. The purpose of this new law, which takes effect Feb. 10, is for every children's product to be made lead-free. This means anything made prior to the new law will have to be removed from store shelves, which heavily affects consignment stores. Read more at this link, and let us know what you think.
