for making it illegal for us to sell our soaps with toys in them after February 10th 2009. The heavy-handed response to the problem of imported dangerous toys (aka: CPSIA) requires products aimed at children 12 and younger to be tested for lead and phthalate content. This is testing that is easy for large companies to absorb the cost of, but impossible for a micro-company like us.
We will still be making decorative soap for our teen and adult customers, but unless the law changes before mid-May no toy soaps at the Farmer's Market.
