This week Michelle Waters explains the many problems with the CPSIA law which is meant to protect children’s products from having dangerous levels of lead. While the idea of protecting our children from lead is a good one, this law is putting thousands of small businesses out of business because of the expensive required testing of each product and the harsh penalties for violators.
Cecilia Leibovitz is the founder of Craftbury Kids and she sells handmade children’s items and gets inventory from a number of small artists and business owners. She shares how this law is affecting her own business and suggests ways that consumers can fight to get some changes made.
