Thread Name: BS: US Fed Wants Ban on Children's Books
Subject: RE: BS: US Fed Wants Ban on Children's Books
This is old news, at least six weeks old.
The CPSC has delayed any enforcement of this until further testing can be done. Moreover, the very sponsors of the original bill (CPSIA) have introduced legislation that would exempt libraries and books from the Act.
A goodly part of the problem is that the CPSC delayed until December, 2008, before releasing any regulations. AND the bill was originally intended for thrift stores, second-hand stores, etc. -- not libraries.
