I don't think they would be that much higher a dollar or two maybe? and besides if the company were over here maybe I could get a job there and get a company discount! YEAH USA!

“….with respect to phthalates, the legal analysis is different.* * * With regard to phthalates, Congress created a consumer product safety standard and the clear statement of unambiguous intent to apply that standard retroactively cannot be found.”

Therefore, the Counsel’s conclusion is that the new standard applies to “only those products manufactured after the effective date of the new standard.” (Emphasis added)

its in the phthalates section though, seems like with the wording the lead items are different?

The only new items it affects are toys that fail lead testing by the federal government. That's it.

i got it now though, i didnt see anything about a reselling of legal stuff so it doesnt matter :P

Ha! The original link has now changed their tune. They got nailed for overly sensationalizing the story.

Good news on the update. I think we can all rest easy knowing we still have the ability to get that elusive Copper Kid any time we want

oh ok this is better news

[Enigma2K2]

... Maybe it's justa ploy to get you to buy new... expensive toys?

My problem with this... they expend this much effort on this.. and while I agree with the recall of the toys with the lead paint, they don't do anything to improve QC on said toys?
