Apparently, they have "clarified" their intent to not included mandatory testing for used items. This is good news indeed. It must have been "clarified" just after I wrote the blog post, because I did try to see what all the fuss was about before I posted that blog and didn't see anything about used items being exempt from the testing as of blog post time. But, this new development does mean good news for thrift stores and consignment shops! Maybe all the backlash from consumers made them change their mind?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759378523839322308/1605435044858137876/comments/default/5832638939877747011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759378523839322308/1605435044858137876/comments/default/5832638939877747011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maleah.mrorex.com/2009/01/childrens-clothingtoy-bill-feb-10th.html?showComment=1231532400000#c5832638939877747011' title=''/><author><name>MaLeah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03099183185935776073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='11318511039708698624'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://maleah.mrorex.com/2009/01/childrens-clothingtoy-bill-feb-10th.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759378523839322308.post-1605435044858137876' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759378523839322308/posts/default/1605435044858137876' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759378523839322308.post-8832043187537867406</id><published>2009-01-09T13:59:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T13:59:00.000-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi, I have been researching, or trying to the bill...</title><content type='html'>Hi, I have been researching, or trying to the bill that you blogged about yesterday concerning the used toys and kids clothes.  I am concerned and thank you for posting information.  I am going to contact my local kids resale shop today and see what I can do to help stop this.  I also suggest doing the same, and having households call their congressman as well.  Very conerning.  &lt;BR/&gt;Thanks.&lt;BR/&gt;Ashley</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759378523839322308/1605435044858137876/comments/default/8832043187537867406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759378523839322308/1605435044858137876/comments/default/8832043187537867406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maleah.mrorex.com/2009/01/childrens-clothingtoy-bill-feb-10th.html?showComment=1231531140000#c8832043187537867406' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://maleah.mrorex.com/2009/01/childrens-clothingtoy-bill-feb-10th.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759378523839322308.post-1605435044858137876' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759378523839322308/posts/default/1605435044858137876' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
