Even more so, under the law, libraries that have books that could be used by those 12 and under either have to be pulled, or minors banned from libraries.

It affect us, as we make tie dye to sell at fairs and what not. There is o lead in cotton t-shirts and there s no lead in procion dye. In fact, members of the Apparel Association held a seminar with folks of the CPSC to show that even if the ancient formulas for dye were used that did contain lead, that lead literally came out in the wash.

Given that there does not seem to be a reliable method for measuring lead content, is this really a problem or has this just been fabricated by retailer associations and big government.

Lead concerns in household paint was a hot button issue when I was a kid, but that was 40 years ago.

How would lead contamination get into a child’s cloths? Isn’t mercury, present in CFLs a greater risk to children??
