This week I have to contact all of our vendors who we get children's items from to ask for a certification that their products are safe/have been tested. Right now it's looking bleak for some small homeschool businesses - even the bigger ones are nervous. We got a call from our rep from [well-know Catholic publisher] warning us that there might be delays because a lot of their printing is done in China."Margaret Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757450243693023480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-59451507135729490562009-01-17T22:28:00.000-06:002009-01-17T22:28:00.000-06:00Thanks for the information Fr.

The clarification from the Consumer Products Safety Commission says "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." At the same time it says that they cannot sell products that are likely to exceed the limit. How would you know what is a "likely" culprit and how liable would a second hand store be if they made a poor judgment on this?Margaret Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757450243693023480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139502387773886177.post-30035939865155391382009-01-17T19:14:00.000-06:002009-01-17T19:14:00.000-06:00Resale is not affected, only new items intended fo...Resale is not affected, only new items intended for children.
