(1) what about people who are down on their luck..especially with this recession..who depend on thrift shops and boutiques to purchase clothes for their children. (2) With an already faltering economy the closure of thrift shops and boutiques because of this stupid act will only make things worse. (3) what about the environmental aspect as people and business are dumping millions of childrens items because they can't get rid of them? (4) what about the impact to our pocketbooks as retail stores raise the prices to cover the costs of certification AND because they know we have no other choices? I am outraged at this act. I want a safer world for my child but this is not the way to do it. This is NOT a common sense approach to the problem. Was there any foresight put into this act?
