Selling any used cribs or playpens at your upcoming garage sale? Childrens clothes with drawstrings or zippers? Pre-1985 books? Rubber duckies or pool floaties?
Better check them twice.
Just like megasize toy manufacturers and stores that sell products from China, the notoriously broad and confusing federal Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act applies to you and your front yard

No one around here is paying the slightest attention to this latest bullshit from Washington. In fact, various parties are mocking the lib bastards by advertising items in the local classified paper that blatantly violate the newest tyrannies.

They trying to shut down the resale business completely? Is that 0bama's plan to get the economy moving... eliminate the channels to get stuff cheaper (as in used)? That dries up, then you have to buy new, or make your own from new components... that stimulates the economy, right?

Recommendation: Sell all used items as non-usable museum pieces, with prominent warning indicating that the item is unsafe for its original designed purpose and is now only suitable for display behind a protective case.

They tried. The thrift stores complained a lot and so they had to push off the legislation for awhile. So, for the moment, they are ok.
The government is very confused about this. It is just interesting that they are going after garage sales. Besides being unenforceable, it is a political hot potato if they try to.

I swear that laws like this and product recalls on car seats and cribs are done so as to force parents to the new products at highly inflated prices. Its a racket.
