Now here is a classic example of why the government has no clue what it is doing and should leave small businesses alone...
Small independent artisans and crafters will be driven out of business by laws intended to protect Americans from toxic materials used in the construction of a variety of products. This law was passed specifically to target items being mass produced in China and other places outside the USA in order to protect US consumers. All well and good, but they took it to far and now a good many small businesses will be forced to stop producing because they are unable to meet the testing required by this law.
Change.org has a proposal outstanding to amend this law set forth by the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Please go here to find out more info on this absurd law. The provision goes into effect in February and change.org is trying to get this in front of President-Elect Obama quickly!
