New Government Policy Imposes Strict Standards on Garage Sales Nationwide
 
Friday, September 18, 2009 
 
By Diane Macedo
 
 
 
Americans who slap $1 price tags on their used possessions at garage sales or bazaar
events risk being slapped with fines of up to $15 million, thanks to a new government
campaign.

Don't sell anything...  recalled

Violators caught selling anything on the enormous list face fines of up to $100,000 per
 
infraction and up to $15 million for a related series of infractions.

I wonder what will become of our Neighborhood's  Annual Garage sale?

Those laws hurt mainly the poor and middle class but they sure do help big business. Although they appear to protect the consumer, the fact is they scare the consumer into purchasing new products. That benefits big business. 
 
People getting rid of expensive wooden chests that have been in families for generations without killing, will get rid of them and buy new. What if Granny was going to sell the trunk to pay the rent? New beds, bunk beds have never been totally safe and they never will be, that is partly why I think kids love them. If you jump from a foot stool you can break your neck if your unlucky enough, you can hang yourself from a shower also, so perhaps we should outlaw kids of  certain age being in showers with chairs and make it so we can sue the disabled who allow a child to use their bathroom if they have a shower with a chair. Oh then again, if they drown in a tub????? Lets outlaw bathing as being unsafe for children. Play it safe.

CPSC's goal is to help you to avoid
 
 future violations
 
and protect your customers,
 
not to put you out of business.
 
If you learn that one of the products you sell violates the law
 
or presents a hazard,
 
immediately inform the Commission.
 
 
............
 
 
That will not stop Americans from having garage sales.
 
Let's find out how this came into being and have a good look at the responsible parties :)
 
 
Product safety is important but the excessive fines need to be looked into, 
 
what were "they"  thinking?
 
 
...............

Report it?  Report it?  


(I would like to RePOrT... a childs puzzle with toxic paint from China ...that I am trying to
sell at a garage sale )    duhhhh....   


I'm a large toy Manufacturer and I wish to be fined.  double duhhh...

........................................................................................................................................

If you learn that one of the products you sell violates the law or presents a hazard,

immediately inform the Commission. You can report a potentially defective or hazardous

product on CPSC's Web site.... or by phone.

 


The implementation of the CPSIA will have dramatic changes for the marketplace.
.........................................................................................................................................

I hope so... we have had enough of

the big toy makers selling cheap toxic toys from China ....   Fine That.

 

Call CPSC's toll-free hotline at (800) 638-2772 for information on product recalls in English and Spanish.

We had no knowledge that 50,000 Marbi dolls were full of Chinese lead paint.
....................................................................................................................................


CPSC is currently working to determine exclusions to the lead content limits.

 


Until the Commission issues final rules in these areas, certain products and materials

(see table on the following page) can be sold as children’s products


without risk of

penalties by the Commission


provided the seller does not have actual knowledge


that the products have more than the acceptable lead limit.


Sellers will not be immune from prosecution if CPSC's Office of Compliance

finds that someone had actual knowledge

that one of these children's products contained lead or continued to distribute or sell

such a product after being put on notice by CPSC.

...................................................................................................................................


Good.   They will be put on notice for selling the Marbi Dolls.


Once again... the onus is in the wrong place...  the burden should be on the


MANUFACTURER and not the citizen...  Hello.... if the Manufacturer


Doesn't sell dangerous products... The citizens can't RESELL dangerous products.


Who authored this upside down language?


We need an official "Kook Squad" to go after nuts who are spending


our tax dollars

unintentionally well meaningly...

to go after us. 
........................... 
..................................
..............................................    

Instead of...  Manufacturers.  (unsafe products should not be in the marketplace period)
