I was reading online today that a new law will be taking effect Feb. 9th, making EVERY homecrafter a criminal! No longer will people be able to sell their homemade goods if they are suitable for children's use, UNLESS these products have been tested - a price tag of $4,000 per test! As if our country wasn't in enough of a financial crisis this will put thousands of moms out of business, even quilts will no longer be able to be sold. This is INSANE, also RESELLING will be illegal, no more thrift sales, no more finding great deals at the second hand store, no more ebay or craigslist, it will also be illegal. The current law is meant to protect children but it is doing so with a HEAVY pricetag. I've included a link to an article about this law change as well as information on how to petition against this law.
