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.
