This morning there was an article in the paper that talked about a new law taking effect February 10th that requires all children's clothing and toys to be teasted for lead and phthalates. Any product not tested by that day will be considered hazarous waste, regardless whether they contain lead. Small stores and thrift stores would be driven out of business due to the cost of testing. Everyone at the thrift store was up in arms about the law and trying to figure out what to do.
This evening there was a follow up news story that said thrift stores may be exempt in the next version of the law. We'll see.
