Wonderful Children's Products on the brink of Extinction

Thanks to the new laws mandated by the CPSIA here is just a taste of the wonderful handmade products that will dissapear once the legislation takes effect on Feb 10th. There is still action that can be taken. Go here for more information now!!!!
Most people think that this just affects toys, but these new laws will take down ANYONE who sells ANYTHING geared toward kids 12 and younger. That includes vintage books like Curious George, gently used clothes on Ebay, even clothing donations to charities.
There is not much time, and something needs to be done and fast. I have included a list of things you can do to help on the side. If you don't want to have to buy your kids mass produced, plastic, foreign made EVERYTHING than please do something and let your opinions be heard!!!

    Thank you for featuring my wooden duck and helping to raise awareness of this apparent well-intentioned, yet misguided law. I hope anyone reading your post will find the time to write to their congressperson or sign the petition.

    I've signed many petitions.
    I hate that baby booties that I knit will be illegal soon.
