Such a sale would normally have me tickled but the reason for it is so very sad.
Help Save our Natural Toy Artisans!
Greetings!
I would like to take this opportunity to inform you about the pending Consumer Product Improvement Act that will deeply impact your ability to purchase natural, handmade toys.
The law, which is intended to make children’s toys safer, may actually cause natural, handmade toys to no longer be available for purchase in the United States. Many American handmade toymakers and small European speciality toymakers will be forced out of business because, unlike their mass-producing counterparts, they cannot afford to conduct the intensive third-party testing the law requires (despite the fact that the toys are made from natural materials). Three Sisters Toys has already received notice that a few of our German suppliers are officially pulling out of the U.S. market in 2009.
If the law passes as it is currently written, it will be illegal for us to sell many of the toys currently on our shelves after February 9, 2009, even though they are made of natural materials and are completely safe.
We don’t wish to sound like alarmists, but the law is real and will effect our business and the selection of handmade toys we, and all businesses, will be allowed to offer.
