Good insights--but the only way CPSIA goes down is for some company to simply defy it, and then bring a court case.  Jury nullification will kill this law, just as it did Prohibition--even if we are taught in school that it was changed by an amendment.

It WAS, of course, but that was only after the idiots in Congress were catching too much blowback.

One good candiate to kill the law is   http://enablingdevices.com/catalog

Steve Kanor makes essential devices for the disabled.  His products meet the standards, but he cannot afford the testing, since they are made in small batches.

Is any jury in this country going to deny these devices to the needy users?

Easy enough for Hewitt to TALK about the issue, but action is what is needed, and we sure are not getting it from the members.  As to Waxman, the Republicans have had many chances to defeat him at the polls, but never have bothered.

Don't look for a political solution to CPSIA, given Dem intransigence and Repub cowardice.  After all, genius GWB signed this mess.</description>
