The ban only applies to clothing manufactured after the effective date.

Which basically means that I won't be able to resell anything I make for my daughter after the date, nor can I donate anything to Hospice, the Food Bank, or other charities that sell donated clothing (new or gently used.)

It also means I won't be abl to sell any children's item I make unless I have it tested or can prove that all materials have already been tested.

Great way to promote new business --- isn't it?

What has been bothering me about this thing...(besides the obvious...)

The clothing/crafts/whatEVER that is made in-home....aren’t the goods already “tested” prior to coming to the US???

Think your local fabric store. Ya mean it’s all bad stuff? Not to be used?

Did that make sense?

I don’t get it. When we sew together fabric, thread, buttons, zippers, elastic, etc. why do those components suddenly become DEADLY for children, when separately, they’re already exposed to things like that and they are not considered deadly?

This is really so, so stupid. Grrrrr!
