Updates on CPSIA

Thank you everyone for your support over the past week. Many people have seen the recent press release from the CPSC and believe that it gives an exemption to consignment stores. It absolutely does not! If you care at all about buying used from consignment stores, attending church consignment sales, seasonal consignment sales, selling your children's used items, or buying form handcrafters please visit the below links. We need your help more than ever!

To find your congressman and call protesting law HR 4040 go to http://www.congress.org.

Two petitions you can sign are rally congress and reform CPSIA

For additional insight into HR 4040 there is a consumer site Narts.org. Click on save Children's Resale and it will give you additional information on the ramifications of this law and sample letters you can send to your congressman.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to call the store. We truly appreciate all you are doing for us!

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act

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!
