I'm not aware of any function that does that.
Mine flushes 6 gallons and the showerhead is full force. Modifications took five minutes each.
So stores that give cash for used video games will have to have signs that say, these games not intended for use by children under 12. Even the baby and preschool games. Idiocy.
I wonder when stuff like this is going to go into other arenas. Right now it is clothing that we can’t purchase and a thrift store, but what about when it goes to books.
I know, I know, completely off topic and no lead law about books, but it got me thinking.
I puchased an electronic book yesterday, and one of the first screens was a “cannot be resold, given, etc. to anyone”. Obviously so that the author would not lose money by having her books redistributed without rebuying. But, what about all the used book stores? And giving my neighbor a book that I’ve finished and no longer want?
Better not let ‘em play said games or CPS will take your kids away and you’ll be charged with child endangerment...
They have all their form letters ready to reply! I think there was one letter written by someone and each rep got a copy of it. Morons! My own rep has the same one.
There are many groups protesting this monstrosity now, and finally it’s “hitting” - A BIT LATE, but no one knew anything about this until a couple months ago. I’m thinking it was a mistake to bring attention to ourselves (the handmade kids stuff arena) when we could easily have gone about our lives in ignorance; no one local I’ve talked to knew anything about this stuff.

If you think this stops at kids stuff, you are dead wrong! Monsters like the Consumers Union are all united to make life and everything lead free, among other things. Instead of supporting alternatives and changing the market, they would rather spend their time in punishment for ALL. They know nothing about business and don’t care.
Nuts, I can’t make the links work for some reason. Well, copy and paste, folks!
A thought... since thrift shops are generally tied with charitable groups, they chould actually BE charitable and give away the clothes for children and make their money on other items of which there are plenty. If they’re not willing to be charitable in that way, then they’ve lost the reason for their existence and tail begins to wag the dog at that point.

This is designed to accomplish many things. First, to eliminate the reselling of used goods, thus forcing people to support newly manufactured goods. This also guarantees more sales tax. It will also require another major expense in having houses to be sold cleaned by approved outfits along with all the regulatory fees that will be attached to such a ‘toxic cleanup.’
It's all about money, behavior control, and helping super big business over small business and the individual crafter and reseller.
I agree! I cannot in good conscience remain loyal to a government that robs the very people entrusting them with the power they wield. Loyalty is worthy only upon a basis of moral fortitude. Yet despite it all, I would still jump in a foxhole and fight a foreign enemy to protect the rights of our people, even for the array of worthless slobs on the Hill. He He
