Quilt and be happy. Make lots of people happy too and don't worry.
Well, actually, as the law stands now, the onus is on the person who sews the quilt together and tries to sell it.
Whether the law was "intended" to have this effect or not, it's what the law SAYS. We can't depend on anyone's "interpretation" or "intention" of the law.
Sure, we can continue to break the law because we probably won't get caught or prosecuted. That is a moral dilemma for every person or company involved.
Steph, section 104 does not apply to quilts. Section 108 is one clear part of the law that DOES apply, in addition to the "all children's products" language that is so inclusive throughout the law. Section 108 addresses the pthalate testing, which will be mandatory by August. That is when the real need for third-party testing services will no longer be avoidable. Until then, the testing can be done with a less expensive process.
