Help save handmade and quality imported toys from CPSIA

After all the hub-bub last year surrounding lead in toys and the numerous recalls that followed, our government is taking action. Unfortunately the new regulations are going to have devastating effects on small companies and those who already manufacture quality toys. Such a shame since the majority of problem toys were plastic and made in China by big corporations.

Some of our favorite toy brands manufactured in Europe, Canada, and right here in the USA may be put out of business. Selecta toys, made in Germany, such as Zoey's favorite rattle shown in this picture will no longer be available in the US if these new testing regulations take effect.

Please visit http://www.handmadetoyalliance.org/ to learn more about this issue that is dear to my heart. If you also feel that we as consumers should have the right to chose handmade or quality imported toys for our children instead of having the government in effect control the toy market, then please take a few minutes to write your senator and congressperson.
