The truth of the matter is that the plain reading of the legislative wording in the CPSIA, as an example, tells us that the CPSC CAN regulate garage sales because they are a form of retail. They CAN send CPSC policemen to your yard and charge you with violations of that law. They tell us they won't do it, but the truth is they CAN. This problem shows up in so many pieces of legislation that it's impossible to know what the law even is anymore. It certainly is irresponsible of Scott Wolfson to say what he did because it's plain wrong.E Melanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954364009385391625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-38485349455915344462011-01-06T15:44:39.680-06:002011-01-06T15:44:39.680-06:00This sounds a lot like the "Boy That Cried Wo...This sounds a lot like the "Boy That Cried Wolf" to me. Parents that are bombarded by labels that don't make sense (and which the CPSC says to ignore) will start ignoring all labels. <br /><br />Does that make children safer? Does it make a young child safer when a parent begins to ignore choking hazard warnings and age appropriateness warnings?<br /><br />Anyone that has been to California has seen the cancer warnings outside what seems like every building. Pretty soon they become irrelevant.<br /><br />This is not to take away from your point. It is very clear from this story that parents will also stop buying perfectly safe products. It is a lose-lose for everyone.challengeandfunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724878227038238177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-31891421766539447522011-01-05T23:12:15.395-06:002011-01-05T23:12:15.395-06:00Wow.
