got lead in your pants?
If you have seen the Save Handmade button in the side bar, or watched the news video clip on this site, you have heard about CPSIA and the affects it will take on handmade, small business, and the world of children’s products. Needless to say, this has been a concern of mine. after asking around (and not hearing back from as many people as i would have liked) and following a whole lot of Tweets, i had a solution literally find me. You know the saying, ‘it just fell in my lap’? For me it was, ‘the solution just fell ‘in’ my lap-top.” I was invited to be part of a group of small businesses getting XFR testing (with GCC’s good until August 2009) all on the same day. The Event (and it was an Event) was hosted by the wonderful women of Congrats From Colorado.
I got all the components of a cloth diaper and a wool diaper cover tested and surprise, surprise there is NO LEAD found in these cloth diapers! General Conformity Certificates are coming soon!
