Trustworthy Toys: Saving the Little Guys
Last month, Congress’s CPSIA regulations put limits on the amount of lead and phthalates that can appear in children’s toys. Good news for little ones who stick everything in their mouths, but bad news for the small toy companies who’ve been making safe playthings for years. Some of our favorite small businesses 
face potential economic strain from these regulations, since companies have to pay to get items tested. Fortunately, the Handmade Toy Alliance is fighting the good fight for everything small and green. The HTA is directing its efforts toward a Congressional amendment to protect cottage industries from the high costs of mandatory product testing.
