1/12/09 National Association of Resale/Thrift Stores issue press release http://tiny.cc/JxzpX
Bottom line: Resale stores do not have to test, yet they must comply or be subject to prosecution.
This is not a solution. Do NOT stop your existing efforts to contact Congress, the media, CPSC, friends and family and anyone/anything else that gets our voice out there.
The CPSC has issued press release!
