Jennifer vanVorst enjoys making baby bibs and she likes the bit of income she makes from selling them. Her fabrics are organic and do not contain lead or the other tested chemicals that are part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act’s new regulations.

She fears without exemptions or modifications of the CPSIA, she will be forced to hang up the baby bibs for good.

PLUS, BICYCLES are under scrutiny per the new law too!

Cecilia Leibovitz was planning to sell bunches of her lovingly handcrafted bunnies this Easter, but new CPSIA lead testing regulations have threatened the existence of the cute critters. Her business, Baby Fairies, stopped making them because the testing is so expensive.

Leibovitz and her partner, Michael Secore, also run an online store called Craftsbury Kids, which represents about 100 artisans and handcrafters who make toys and clothing.

http://www.craftsburykids.com/

Cecilia Leibovitz has been instrumental in the grassroots movement to modify the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 2008 which will go into effect February 10, 2009. Prohibitively costly lead testing will potentially put out of business thousands of handcrafters, artisans and small businesses which produce and sell children’s products.

Cecilia Leibovitz’s idea to “Save Small Business from the CPSIA” was a winner in the recent Ideas for Change in America Competition on the website change.org. The top ten causes which received the most votes from the public will be presented to US President Barack Obama.

See the full article on Etsy’s blog, the Storque. Toymaker Amber Dusick aka woodmouse has her wood shop in her garage in downtown LA. After the birth of her son, this one time farm girl from Minnesota became nostalgic for the toys from her past: simple, natural toys that would inspire creativity and imaginative play, made from materials that wouldn’t stick around in a landfill for thousands of years.
