CPSC Hearing on Incident Database / Sen. DeMint Offers Another Fix to CPSIA / TNNA's Letter to CPSC
The CPSC is inviting the public to participate in a hearing so the commission can gather opinions about a consumer product safety incident database. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10 in Bethesda, Md.

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.
