So if our questions and concerns are being grossly over-looked and our involvement in OUR government is being pacified with a form letter....what are we to do? 'we' voted these people in into office, how do we get them fired?....on the grounds of ig…

Your interest in the CPSIA (public)

I am a toymaker specializing in handcrafted, all-natural material dolls. All of my products are one-of-a-kind, so testing is really not a viable option, especially if it's going to turn my doll made of cotton and wool into a pile of goo.

Cost-effective CPSIA compliance

Hi there, I'm an independent toy developer and have gone through the process of CPSIA testing for my first production run on a series of blocks I've developed. The cost really broke the bank, and ate up most of my margin. I'm wondering if anyone out…

Help Support the new CPSIA Documentary!

A CPSIA documentary is in the works. Since the mainstream media seems to think this is not worthy of their precious air time, this is another great way to get the word out and put our leaders on the "hot seat" to explain themselves. We know that the impact of this travesty is widespread. Now we just need to collect our pennies together and help support the documentary. We have over 700 members here. Imagine if everyone gave just $20....(that would be $14,000 and good chunk of the cost). Here is a quick way to make a donation.

This is a donation to support the making of a CPSIA documentary (see link for details). CPSIA-Central is not affiliated with this organization, and is offering this space for the paypal button in support of the documentary.
