    Safety is important. But Government Rules aren't the answer.

    WOW !
    Like you, I understand that some saftey measures are vital, but they are going to kill small business like mine.

    I think the labeling needs to be better to let parents know what they are getting.
    I have been educating folks (on Squidoo and on my website and in my online store...) about all natural products and what to look for in that area as this is what I am most knowledgable about.

    Let these committees give out lists of what to avoid and the common and legal names for all of the ingredients/fabrics/paints... that are used.

    It is a scary thing when our choices are taken away.

    If this keeps up, we will have no choices except for big businesses who can afford to hire lawyers to skirt the laws anyway. How safe is that ?

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Organically Yours,
    Diana

    You Can Quote Me ...
    "This regulation needs rewritten. While the purpose is noble the results are a double edged sword. We need to present this issue to those who have worked so hard to get this passed. Kudos for their Intentions! Now...let's fix what isn't working in the plan." ~Deborah Bryan (aka GypsyOwl)
