Organic Clothing - The New Norm?

Well, we keep hearing news from the CPSC, and court orders are coming too - all gearing up for tomorrow, February 10, 2009, and attempting to lend a hand at the interpretation of the new law (CPSIA) by all us folks who are affected by it. The guidance posted by the CPSC today gives some further help. We've been crazy busy here, scanning for small businesses who are looking for peace of mind in knowing that their products are safe are legal for sale after tomorrow.
My thoughts have been wandering in a particular direction today - is it possible that organic clothing will finally become the new norm in America? Certified organic clothing has been around for years and has always been the purest clothing available for our children. Many European standards meet and exceed all that we are trying to accomplish through this new law (don't we have so much to learn from our friends on the other side of the pond!) Perhaps we are coming on a time when organic clothing will become the guiding standard in purity for all children's clothing!
My husband and I have screened for lead for the past few days now with the XRF machine and have been amazed to find the amounts of lead hiding in snaps, zippers, bling and other embellishments in clothing - and our children's jewelry and toys! BTW, stay tuned...we'll post a picture of our "lead memorial" jar we have been filling, with items from our house (most of which we did not buy- they just crept into our house as gifts and prizes) that we discovered are full of lead! What an eye opening experience it has been not just for us, but for our two girls (ages 6 and 8). The lead jar was an alternative to tossing items into the trash, and a way for them to continue and treasure those gifts from afar which will never again adorn their precious hands and necks. We'll get a picture up here soon, but for now, back to scanning!
