I am serious, like I said, the law as it stands needs tweeked, but overall, its a good law, there shouldn't be any poisons in products produced
period.
As I said though, the responsibility is for the manufacturers to prove that there products are safe.
Yes second hand shops will have to trash alot of potentially unsafe products, this isn't going to force them to go out of business though, this is
going to force them to provide safe products. Additionally, thats what insurance is for, The lose of merchandise would be a insurance issue in my
opinion.
You say they are going to loose money doing this, and go out of business, no if forces them to throw crap away thats been around forever. It forces
them to start only accepting new stuff. 1 month after the law passes people will still be donating there items to these shops, those items would need
to be checked to see when they were manufactuered, if it was before this law, then the ship it oversees, if its after the law, then the products would
have already been tested by the original manufacters or retailers, and therefore are considered safe.
Thats my take on it anyway. YOu say its forcing people to buy retail, no only in the short term. In the long term the products don't need to be
retested, only tested originally. Therefore, there is still a market for these products, and the market will continue to grow and thrive, just as all
these items that can no longer be sold will continue to be collected, instead of them being sold in the U.S., they'll sell them outside of the U.S.,
or just donate them overseas.
My take anyway. Again, as I said, As the Law stands, it needs tweeked, with tweeks, it is certainly beneficial to us.
