Just because the legislators extended the deadline for mandatory testing on all children’s products, doesn’t mean things.   The very day I was having my Pencil Bugs tested,  the lawmakers who wrote the CPSIA were moving the deadline out another year.   At first I thought, “wow! what timing!”  But then I was glad I went ahead and had them tested because at least I knew I was able to keep selling them.

But the CPSIA is still legal mumbo jumbo.   I read the revisions they made when they pushed the deadline to next year and it still didn’t make any sense.  I know it’s not just because I’m only 13 years old because I hear there are a lot of adults that don’t get it either.   In my opinion, the biggest reason they extended the deadline was because they realized they made a mistake but didn’t know how to fix it in time.    It’s just like in school when teachers change the rules because it fits them.  Forget about what’s best for the kids. more…
