I hope and pray that the faint winds of fresh air will become stronger and stronger. . . and blow away the filth and stench that CPSIA has wrought INADVERTANTLY (oh yeah?!) with speed.Happymom4 aka Hope Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853646859979784516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-17490956815067463952009-10-30T16:30:08.386-05:002009-10-30T16:30:08.386-05:00I couldn't agree more. The tone from Washingto...I couldn't agree more. The tone from Washington is too often anti-business, even when they take ownership of said businesses. From toy companies to software companies to insurance companies it seems we are assumed bad? <br /><br />It is devastating to me the sad faces on see on small business people when discussing this law and the damage. These are good people who believed they were doing good things and to be treated like villains is unconscionable.<br /><br />I did not know all the evil I would be suspected of by simply becoming an American entrepreneur. Yes, an entrepreneur, a person who decided to neither join the rigidity of corporate america or politics. Will this path be lost to Americans in the future?<br /><br />It is devastating these children we are trying to hard to protect from ourselves will not have the same options.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-68699518444628867092009-10-30T07:23:02.900-05:002009-10-30T07:23:02.900-05:00The horrifying suicide of the Chinese toy factory ...The horrifying suicide of the Chinese toy factory owner in 2007 is perhaps the only known death from lead-in-paint in 2007. This contrasts with one, precisely one, reported injury from lead-in-paint in 2007-8 out of 125 recalls. If memory serves me, the injury was to a baby from lead-in-paint on a crib (presumably with elevated lead blood levels from sucking on the side rails). Thus, out of umpteen million recalled units, one injury to a child . . . and one adult death. The media frenzy and panicked public outcry at the time exacted a terrible price. <br /><br />Tone and approach matters. We don't need to drive business owners to despair to correct a simple fixable manufacturing defect. I think a higher road is the better road and the more effective road.Rick Woldenberg, Chairman - Learning Resources Inc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10399747363670184131noreply@blogger.com
