And then parents will have to invent another reason why their children are stupid. (It can't be bad parenting, after all.)

Here is the problem. The spirit of the law is the elimination of a bogus hazard. The media whipped up the public about the lead in Chinese made toys, which lead was a technical violation of a stringent standard. The actual violation posed no risk at all. "Wolfson acknowledged the people who complain that the legislation has forced them out of the market, but said continued conversation will help hammer out the kinks in the system." For God's sake, Ms. Nord explained that CPSIA defects can not be worked out. Wolfson is an IDIOT!!! “The owner of Bumkins, Jakki Liberman, said she agrees with the spirit of the law…”
