I received an email about a new law that will go into effect February 10, 2009, which may cause many crafters to go out of business, unless the petition to amend the law is successful. From what I’ve read, the law is unnecessarily excessive.
Who will be affected?
1.If you are a small or home-based business that manufactures apparel or other textile products for children under 12 years of age, this legislation impacts you, or
2. Whether you sell your products wholesale or directly to the consumer through eBay, Etsy, or your own web site, this legislation impacts you.
Whether the law impacts you directly or not, I encourage you read about it and see if you would like to sign the petition to help crafters continue to sell their crafts.
