Pressing on through the CPSIA

We are excited to let you know that some of our manufacturers are coming up with solutions to allow them to continue selling their pure organic clothing for the time being without needing to go through the extra hoops of expensive testing. Most of the European manufacturers we work with have certifications that already meet and exceed the CPSIA requirements, and many of our US manufacturers are using XRF technology to inexpensively test their clothing. The XRF testing is also what we are doing with our current inventory. All of this is getting us by for the time being - and we continue to pray for changes in the law that will allow wonderful companies like the ones we work with to continue to sell their extremely pure organic clothing without having to undergo expensive third party testing. That requirement kicks in August 14, 2009, so we'll be watching for clarifications and exemptions from the CPSIA committee and will keep you posted on changes.

We are keeping our endangered clothing page current as we continue talking to our manufacturers to determine if we can restock their clothing as this new law takes effect - as we hear positive news, we remove items from the endangered clothing list. Hopefully the entire page can disappear soon!

So, we press on for now and plan on having some new spring clothing to offer soon. Stay tuned for a special coupon to announce their arrival! And come check out the super end of season deals in our store! Sale ends February 10.
