New safety rules for children's clothes have stores in a fit
New law seems to ban resale of toys
Addendum: I just want to say that while I think it's wonderful that the government is trying to make our kids' toys safer, I think their plan really stinks. Have they not given any thought to the repercussions either? I can't imagine local resale stores closing down altogether or closing their kid departments because they can't afford to test the items they receive! If the government is making the new law retroactive, then they should pay for all of the previously "safe" stuff to be tested, not just thrown away! Just my little 2 cents for you! :)
