This law will shut down a LOT of domestic manufacture. Here is a quote from an article in World Magazine;
"But Wilson plans to shut down her company's physical sales on Jan. 31. The reason? It's not because the homeschooling mother of eight can't find time to manage a business, but because of a sweeping consumer safety law Congress passed last year. The law requires lead testing for almost every substance in products marketed to children 12 and under—and that includes the paper and ink in Wilson's books and the fabric, needles, and buttons in her sewing kits. For every new batch of books or sewing kits she stores in her garage, Wilson would have to pay $1,500 to $4,000 for lead testing. She can't afford it."
