Good news! The CPSIA Mandatory testing requirements are postponed for a year for them to figure it out! Nobody has to close on February 10th!
Would you believe that I heard this news (Chris emailed me) just minutes after spending all day on the phone with testing labs getting quotes and feeling defeated?
Then I went to the Etsy front page and saw this:
My trees right there on the homepage and right above it the "Breaking News About the CPSIA" link! I think this is a sign to keep on going, don't you? So. Relieved.
I hope that in the next year the law is written much more clearly and excludes natural materials, one of a kind items, etc. Anyway, they clearly need this year to figure it all out. Phew.
