Announcing the first meeting for Paulding CIA


Recommended Posts

It was great meeting you guys today. I know this effort will be successful with such great folks working to make Christmas nice for kids who are in need. We discussed the issue of items that may come under the recall list and this is one of the articles I found on it. Don't know if this would apply since there would be no resale.

Here is one from today's news:

 

New Government Policy Imposes Strict Standards on Garage Sales Nationwide

Friday, September 18, 2009

Americans who slap $1 pricetags 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.

 

The "Resale Round-up," launched by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, enforces new limits on lead in children's products and makes it illegal to sell any items that don't meet those limits or have been recalled for any other reason.

 

The strict standards were set in the 2008 Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act after a series of high-profile recalls of Chinese-made toys.

 

The standards were originally interpreted to apply only to new products, but now the CPSC says they apply to used items as well.

Feds cracking down on secondhand sales

 

By Carleton Bryant on Sept. 1, 2009

The federal government has begun a program to crack down on the secondhand sales of dangerous and defective products, according to McClatchy Newspapers.

 

Called Resale Roundup, the initiative targets toys and other products for children and enforces a new law that makes it a federal crime to resell anything that's been recalled by its manufacturer.
