CPSIA update!

CPSIA has voted not to include yarn in the lead testing requirement. Here's the first part of the article at http://www.apparelnews.net/news/manufacturing/082409-Fabric-and-Yarn-Excluded-in-New-CPSIA-Requirements

"A new vote has exempted fabric and yarn from the lead testing and certification requirements for children’s products under the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. The exemption, which is expected to go into effect within a matter of days, does not include snaps, buttons, zippers and the like. The result is that the final garment will still need to be tested."

So as long as there are no snaps, buttons, etc, we are cool! Good news for those of us who pulled all the baby stuff off their site or stopped making it to comply!
