I have just started making hair bows for little girls and babies (other than my own girls) and was so excited to start doing this from home to make extra money to help make ends meet. This makes me so sad to think that my little "business to be" may not become a reality due to this. I have put my heart into this and I really feel for everyone out there who may be adversely affected by this law. There has to be another way for us to keep kids safe without putting small businesses out of business. Thanks for the info.

I highly appreciate your efforts and thanks for providing this highly useful information. It is certainly a tough criterion to go through all this testing procedure.

My products are made in a factory in the US. My cotton fabric companies have sent me, or are in the process, stating their fabrics are lead free. I was told I still need a third party testing. I make baby blankets in various colors and sizes. Each color of each pattern must be tested. Nuts. Business is not that great at wholesale to my Specialty stores to spend thousands on these testings. Probably will drop several patterns. Problem is I keep a good size inventory and stock level is high. Can't sell off inventory after Feb 10 I am a wreck and head into the NY Gift show this weekend.
