Dr. Seuss Meets the CPSIA –

“In the town of Beddubble, far out on the Moor,
there lived a small tot, who was not more than four.

Little Annabelle Ruth (her close friends would recall)
had swallowed the string from a dilly-dunk ball.”

There is a fine line between safety and lunacy. Here in the UK retailers have become so paranoid about potential Health and Safety litigation that one major supermarket now includes a warning on label milk cartons- ‘Contains milk’…Welcome to the asylum!

Thanks so much for this thought provoking article. I never thought about the unintended consequences of this before. Like everyone else, people jump on the band wagon when we hear we want things to be safer for our children but forget to look at the big picture. I will be thinking more about this now.

Interesting post Steve..I wonder how else we can use this “back to basics” time America is in to revive science education. There are still too few kids choosing it as a college major..

. NationalBankruptcyDay.com is a site dedicated solely to getting the word out about the far-reaching detriments of this well-intended bill. A recent survey published on their site estimates that only 61% of American toy sellers will survive the fall-out of the CPSIA,

Our data mentioned in that entry shows that 61% will NOT survive the fall out, not that 61% will. Since then, this figure has been revised but not yet released. The new figure is 70% will not survive.

Also, the study was deliberately industry neutral and not limited to toys. Since toys are only 20% of the children’s products market, there’s no way to break it down according to the affect on toy makers you mention.
