The Consumer Product Safety Comission and the United States Congress have passed a new law taking effect February 10th. It will require all consumer goods for children 12 and under to be tested for lead. Under this new law consignment stores like ours and many others across the United States will not be able to sell toys or even childrens' clothing unless they are tested. This test costs anywhere from $200 to thousands of dollars per item. Yes I said per item! Watch WLKY news at 11pm tonight to see Shelly answer questions about this legislation. Learn how it will affect you as consignors and customers in our store and what we can do to keep our store and the resale industry going. Watch for further details on how you can contact your Congressman to help us in this fight. Thank you so much for your support! We need you!
