I think the main thing to bring up is how many businesses (toy makers as well as small stores) will go out of business, which we cannot afford in our present economy. My suggestion is to exempt US & Europe made toys, since we already have stict guidelines.

The main concern are the toys coming from China and Taiwan, and there is no reason the ... See Morelaw can't specify that. Making US made toys exempt will also help our economy, since it will encourage large toy manufacturers to work here, instead of outsourcing more jobs.

Alberto 1. Mattel messes up.
2. People want higher safety standards.
3. CPSIA is passed, crippling the very people who advocated safer toys.
4. Mattel is exempt from third party testing, even though they can afford it.
5. Mattel messes up... again.
