Cross posting this to save time...Please check the links on Save Homemade, even if you simply resell Vintage,
you're not out of the woods yet with this law...Nor are you free from liability, even with the Reseller exemption. ANY improvement you do on any Vintage is deemed 'new' and therefore Will have to be tested, also from what I've been able to gather the law is very vague about what is considered not safe,
old buttons that might contain lead, zippers, they have not disclosed everything as they wrote this law very poorly and for this reason, While they can't reverse the law, [nor can Obama], they did delay it to go over the details and there is a time limit for comments to the CPSIA on this.
Etsy has posted a page of what items will now cost under CPSIA COMPLIANCE, from jewelry to quilted skirts to girl's dresses. Also, it is very vague as far as What could be considered 'targeted to children' because the law says up to twelve year old, therefore if you make vintage purses [copies] they could apply under this law, I am still waiting to hear back on that.
See below, each item has photograph with an itemized breakdown of the testing and the costs that they will now charge/or what you would have to pay, so, whether you are interested in what it will cost you now to purchase a handmade knitted hat for your niece or what you will have to Charge your clients if you do any reconstructed [which is considered NEW even if you use older vintage fabrics].
CPSIA PRICES AFTER FEB 10
topic posted Today, 2:56 PM by ModottiManif.
Several have replied that the law due to the 'throw the bone' comment by CPSIA in regards to Thrift stores won't effect resellers,
that couldn't be farther from the truth. While Yes, the law has been revised to not demand Thrift stores and resellers to test their garments, they still have to assure those garments are lead and phthalates, IF any file a complaint on that store they are still liable under law if they come in and find just ONE item, that exceeds the limits.
As for reconstruct--those are NEW items, while they may use old recycled material they are still deemed new so yes, they have to be tested, that is anything from jewels to dresses to toys.
Anyway, here you go, prices on items, to give you an idea, after Feb 9, posted on Etsy. This will give you an idea of what you will need to charge to cover the expense for testing on items,
quilting and jewels will cost far more, as Each fabric swatch, component, zipper, button, closure, threads too, have to be tested.
Some examples:
jewelry cross: cost after testing to comply with law will now cost you $23,027...girls dress $7,000 [rounded off], quilted skirt for girl, $15,160.00, and so forth
Here you go, see for yourself, the new CPSIA PRICES, THANK YOU CONGRESS.... for anything Handmade, Reconstructed, Consignment, etc
[on each garment, the manufacturer has itemized the costing by Third Party Lab so that you will know what you are paying for OR what you will have to now charge.
