Re: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act & HOD
HSLDA has responded to this issue on their website. It is very helpful, I think, in calming our concerns over this. I am not quite sure of the exact page on their website, but I am sure if you did a search on there you could find it. HTH

Re: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act & HOD
Ladies,
We are aware of the information put forth by HSLDA on this law and how it affects homeschoolers. This portion sums it up best:
"How does the new law affect homeschoolers who sell used textbooks and other educational materials to other individuals, including those who sell through the online HSLDA Curriculum Market? How does it affect vendors at homeschool conventions? These transactions are subject to the restrictions of the federal law under CPSIA. However, it is likely that most of these materials contain no lead or phthalates, are not banned hazardous materials, and have not been recalled by the manufacturer. And sellers are not required to test or certify any of these products, new or used. That’s the responsibility of manufacturers and importers. Sellers are simply prohibited from knowingly selling products that fail to meet federal standards."
Companies such as Hands n' Hearts are much more affected by this law, since they sell so many various items within their kits, and some items could potentionally not meet the standards of the new law.
Blessings,
Carrie
