We love handmade kids’ stuff, like one-of-a-kind clothing from Etsy and handcrafted wood toys made in small batches by artisans. But the recently-passed American Consumer Products Safety Act could put many of our favorite U.S. handcrafters out of business. We’re all about safety, but this particular piece of legislation seems to hurt the manufacturers we love while not seriously affecting those who need regulation the most.
Cool Mom Picks has put up a Save Handmade page, to spread the word about how to encourage the U.S. Congress to amend the act before it goes into effect in February, “so that we can both keep our children safe and protect the handmade toys and clothing that we love so much. ”
