Great idea, Jill. I'll pass the word along.

- Hey Jill! :-0
For the 2/15-18 NY Toy Fair, you know we're doing the Display Wall for companies affected by CPSIA. We would like to show just how diverse a group of businesses will be affected by this legislation. We want Toy Fair attendees to be able to read everyone's stories (and cover the blank wall behind us so it's interesting). So far I have not gotten many profiles. Please help! :-) I'll see you there girl!

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…
Didn't they sit in on the drafting of the CPSIA? I just received this, from change.org:

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.
