I recieved this in my mail box this morning from Dharma Trading Co. The link takes you to much more information. We all need to check this out!
Implementation of the recently passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) aimed at protecting children from products containing lead and phthalates has been postponed for a year. The poorly written law has created worry and confusion for some small businesses. Legislation is also being introduced to reduce the impact on small and home based business. More information can be found on our site at: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/6569694-AA.shtml

There is a one-year stay on the enforcement of this law!! :D I updated on a thread here somewhere - maybe in the Chat forum. I posted the information on my blog, too:
