Many handmade and organic toy makers also must still comply. The required testing costs thousands of dollars and is going to put many out of business.

Thanks for writing about this. I'm going to sign the petition. You're right. It does sound great on paper... but the consequences seem dire. Wow. Thanks for writing about this.
