Help save the pretty things...Some of you may have already heard about the new upsetting new laws passed. If not, basically the
CPSC passed with good intentions, but not thought through
Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act , which is requiring costly mandatory testing on ALL handmade children's products. In 2 months, if you don't act on this NOW the handmade products we all love will no longer be available. This means that most of the lovely products featured here on
Simple Me Boutique will no longer be available and considered illegal to sell. Whether it's a hair bow, child's shirt, sling or a toy... They will be put to a end.
Cool Mom Picks did a great job of explaining this
HERE.
We are asking for your help to keep the handmade community alive. Here's what you can do:
-Find your
congress person and senators and write a letter like the
sample here, particularly if they serve on the
consumer protection subcommittee.-Send a letter directly to
the CPSC.
-Join the
Handmade Toy Alliance and check out their
proposed changes to the act which make a whole lot of sense.
-Spread the word to everyone you know who cares about helping the little guy, particular in today's economy.
This will only take a few seconds & all the handmade companies that have made so many wonderful products sold here at
Simple Me Boutique & the great small companies the have sponsored ALL the awesome giveaways on
Simple Finds would greatly appreciate it.
