New Law that Will Affect Children's Organic Clothing!

The Consumer Product Safety Information Act (CPSIA) is due to take effect on February 10, 2009. The CPSIA has lots of different requirements regarding testing for lead and phthalates of all products (including organic clothing) intended for children age 12 and under. Under the very important auspices of child safety, the Act may have grave unintended consequences: fewer choices for families who are looking for organic clothing and natural toys. Many retailers of children's clothing (including small businesses like our own) have expressed fears that they won't be able stay in business due to the burdensome cost of testing and certification pursuant to the proposed legislation.

Currently there is a lot of uncertainty about how exactly this law will "look" once February 10 arrives, and lawmakers are at work clarifying the details. But our family here at Hanna's Dream is currently preparing by analyzing our inventory and contacting our manufacturers to determine our next steps. Next weekend we will send out another email with more specifics regarding our store and what items will be no longer available in the future. We are also stocking up a bit, personally speaking, on clothing for our two girls (including removing items from our own stock) as undoubtedly there are some huge changes on the horizon.

We wanted you, or customer family, to be informed of these potential changes as there is still time - time to email Congress, spread the word so we can all be informed, and stock up on favorite organic clothing and natural toy items that may be difficult to buy in America in the future.
