you and I DO NOT agree. This regulation is bullshit. My view:

Free-market capitalism:

put lead in a toy means you’ve got a shitty product that nobody would buy and you go out of business making room for the toy producers with value. No need to regulate it. The market does this all by itself.

Why are you suffering? I am not. Money is made up, health is not. I am also still supporting this legislation, sure I wish it were written differently, but if this is the only way to make children’s products safer so be it. I hope you find happiness in the world, I can tell you it is not through money.

Hmmm that is funny considering I am still for the CPSIA. Also, if you knew me you would realize that I don’t trust anything without independent, third-party certification. There is a lot of deception in the world and you can’t take anything at face value.

No, I still want protection and I do not mind paying. What are you children worth? I would say everything as health and life is real everything else is just made up. Love, life, and health is all we really need everything else just gets in the way.

Oh how I would LOVE to be Libertarian! That would mean we lived in a perfect world where everyone did the right thing, maybeone day we will get there. I hope so. Until then I will not hold my breath and will be thankful for legislation like the CPSIA for making the world a little safer.

By no means am I trusting of something just because someone says it is “natural” I am all for testing and if this is the only way to get it done that is fine by me. The only reason Lundeby’s Eco Baby is around is to inspire parents to think a little more about the products which we bring into our households everyday and given them some options that have been well thought out. I actually wish more substance were regulated. I would love to go out of business a a cause of our children being safer.

Well, lead has been found in toy after toy. Do you get CPSC updates on recalls? I do and see high lead content in lines that have previously had recalls for lead content. These lines are still widely available and popular. So how exactly is the free market working? What about the economy?

Most definitely not it should apply to EVERYONE as the market has proved itself untrustworthy.

really I am not complaining, the news wanted to know what was going on so I told them, but I am very much for this legislation applying to everyone as long as there is a positive effect on the health of children.
