Yes, I've heard about the new law going into effect Feb. 10. For those of you that haven't, this law basically says that you will no longer be able to sell any children's items without them being tested for lead and other dangerous items after Feb. 10.
Here's is Encores and More North stance on the law:
We have written our congressman and spoke to the CPSIA via phone and email. We were told that this law should not affect us as we are not buying the items from consignors and then reselling. We were also told that the CPSIA is currently meeting to ammend the current law because they realize it was written too broadly. What does this mean for you, the consignor?
It means that we will be opening our doors on Feb. 28 to start drop off for our biggest and best yet Spring 2009 consignment sale. It means that March 7, we will open to the public to sell the thousands of awesome kids items that we usually have. We hope to hear about our space this week and will be updating the website as soon as we have a firm location.
PLEASE join us in writing your legislators and letting them know that this law is ridiculous because even if we (Encores and More North) aren't affected, this will have a horrible impact on the children's clothing and accessories community as a whole. Who wants prices on these already expensive items to go up?

How are you handling the part of the law that now makes selling any recalled toys illegal?
I think this is a wonderful thing... one voice is good... many voices are better!
