I'm glad that they've clarified that used items are not included, but I still haven't heard anything that says handmade toys are safe. Thank you for sharing this information.

Thanks for the update - wool, cotton, silk, gemstones and pearls are exempted. Terrific! But how are we supposed to string our pearls and gemstones? On our silk cord, I suppose - but what about sterling silver and gold clasps and toggles? :o) And is the exempted wool, cotton and silk undyed, only? So many questions! :)

So...resellers don't have to test items. But if they're caught selling anything that doesn't pass muster, then they're still criminals and can face fines and possible jailtime? Seems like the risk still might not be worth staying in business. Or am I reading it wrong?

From article: CPSIA: Exemption Announcement, Resources & Action Items

The new law requires that domestic manufacturers and importers certify that children’s products made after February 10 meet all the new safety standards and the lead ban. I'm wondering how to test one of a kind, artisan stuffed animals and dolls. The testing ,as I understand it, destroys the product so how can an artist comply?

I figured that the gov had better things to do than track down every crafter who makes children's goods, but its nice to know for sure that their "enforcement" is going to focus on the big players. Though it would be nice if crafting for children was legal and not an act of civil disobedience:)
