No kidding, this is SO stupid! I totally agree with you. Things are just getting nuttier all the time. It’s unbelievable what agencies deem important sometimes.

Just another example of government “knee-jerking” a reaction to a real problem (Chinese lead contamination) by creating a new problem.

Somehow, I don’t see many libraries following the request.

I wrote to my congressman about how this law is going to kill American cottage industry, not to mention how it will affect schools, libraries and antique dealers. His response, “Well, we’ve made some alterations for the resale and thrift shops and that’s good.” He totally disregarded my comments. I know a couple of people who contacted their congressmen and senators (my senator didn’t even respond to my letter) and were basically told, “You obviously don’t care about children!” They have no idea that the people who have made these childrens’ items have done so specifically because the US was importing tainted and toxic toys from other countries and they didn’t want that garbage for their kids!

Sorry, preaching to the choir here, but it just burns my butt that they don’t listen to their constituents!

Incredible! Now this administration is banning books too? I linked back to this.
