Yet, despite the increasing furor being unleashed on the internet, in calls and letters of protest to Congress and the media to pay attention by a wide range of affected industries, silence and inaction reigns. Mention child safety and lead and everyone runs the other way. Apparently, it’s simply too hot an issue to handle.

The broad scope of the complicated law, and it’s interpretation by CPSC has effectively made it illegal for parents to resell their children’s clothing and gear at a garage sale, on eBay, Craig’s List, through consignment stores or annual children’s consignment sales. If donated to a nonprofit like Goodwill or Salvation Army, those organizations can’t legally resell it, as of February 10^th. That’s right. Hand-me-down clothing for kid’s age 12 and under will be illegal to resell. It will be a banned hazardous product. The fines of $100,000, potential jail time and label as a felon for violations are stiff.

Without effective venues for parents to pass along their kid’s gently used items where does Congress think this massive amount of consumer product is going to quickly end up?  Landfills here it comes!

Yohoo! Is anybody with the power to do something out there? Does anybody, but those affected, care?

The friendly folk that work so hard at WExchange Thrift kept all our customers that are parents and grandparents -that- help in since early spring. Yep, they've been sorting and storing as much great back-to-school clothing, shoes and 'gear' as they possibily had room for in their small storage area. Now it's exploding!
