Stay Ruled as Illegal
All across the country small businesses are trying to make sense of the latest rules and regulations pertaining to products manufactured for children.
The Consumer Product & Safety Commission granted a one year stay, but later a court ruled the stay was illegal. The law states that only the congress is capable to grant the stay. Products are being taken off of shelves and certain industries have put whole lines of product on hold. The results are devastating to so many businesses across the country.
The Consumer Product & Safety Improvement Act was put into place on Feb. 10, 2009. This act requires products intended for children under the age of 12 undergo extensive costly testing.

Good News!
On Friday, Jan. 20, 2009 at 5:55pm the CPSIA granted a one year stay of the testing and certification requirements we informed you about last week. Products are required to be lead and phthalates free, but we do not have to include the costly certifications during this one year stay.
In light of this update, we will continue to offer Etta's Book Club kits through Etta's Book Boutique found at www.ettasbookclub.com. However, we have made the decision to move forward with Etta's NEW format. The new format will offer more titles and include a wider range of reading levels and age groups. We will launch Etta's Book Club Junior and Etta's Book Club Classics this year. Automatic shipments will be discontinued, giving customers and book groups the flexibility to order books at their convenience. The new format will be more eco-friendly and budget-friendly for these current times.
We can't wait to share our NEW format with you in 2009!
