I have not had time to read all the posts yet but I can tell you that this law affects me greatly. I make and sell children’s clothing to supplement my family’s income. I also shop at second-hand stores. For me to test one of my items to sell would cost about $350, so for an outfit that I would retail at around $40 right now, I would have to sell for abou $500 just to make any money!

I’ve also read, and I can’t remember where, that this law is only for companies’ whose products are made in the U.S. This may be incorrect information, I don’t know.

I did contact the fabric companies I buy my fabric from and was told that they are no affected at all because their product is not intended for children.

I’m probably babbling, but this law has me so upset!!

I’m intending to reply to all but not sure if it’s working or not.

You’re not babbling and I don’t blame you for being upset.

Forget contacting the fabric companies, contact your congress critters. Then contact the fabric companies and tell them to contact THEIR congress critters.

I'm not aware of any function that does that.
