Save Handmade

There's a new law, taking effect February 10, 2009, entitled "Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act" or "CPSIA". This law requires all sellers of products marketed towards children to have their products undergo lead testing, certifying the product is under a certain lead limit. The testing is expensive and if this law holds, many small businesses, including ours (http://www.scarletstitch.com/) will either go out of business or will have to stop producing children's products and instead produce products geared towards an older audience.

Please click on the teddy bear on the right to read up on this ridiculous law and to contact our legislature to repeal the law before many small business owners are put out of business and even more damage is done to our economy.

Thank you,
Crystal
