I have to admit, I *love* thrift shops, consignment shops & yard sales...as well as craigslist & ebay! Why pay full price for something I can pay 1/2 price for, especially if it's for my son who will only outgrow it or get bored with it all too quickly.
Naturally, then, the disturbing news of this ridiculous new law that will require lead testing on all products (clothing & toys) for children under age 12, is upsetting. So many secondhand stores will be closing. Unless we get more hand-me-downs from friends/family, we will be forced to purchase everything brand new for my son. Unless we magically fall upon more $, we will struggle greatly purchasing everything new.
Here & here
is an article on the law, & I'm sure if you google it (swagbucks! haha) you can find many many more.
Also, here is the link to Brian Higgins, my congressman-please email him &/or your own congressman & other officials in an attempt to stop this law from happening (due to go into effect on feb. 10th 2009!)
