I can't believe this is my first posting on my new blogging site in honor of My Lavish Baby. I have been so excited to debut (any day now) the new look for My Lavish Baby . The new site will not only have an updated look, but offer easier navigation, additional categories/ links and feature more "must have" mompreneur products.
My Lavish Baby is a boutique that thrives on the foundation of strong women and their passion, creativity and business savvy ingenuity to bring baby/children's products to market for your pleasure and convenience. My Lavish Baby is the platform for mompreneurs to expand their markets and increase their sales as a small business that contributes not only to the American Economy but for their family's survival.
I have personally invested thousands of dollars (in inventory & marketing) and countless unpaid hours for maintenance to keep my business competitive. My Lavish Baby brings attention to products that mom's (mompreneurs) have poured their heart, soul and usually life savings into their creation/invention that has been sold in some cases for years without a single quality complaint.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!! As of Feb 10 - (just a few weeks away) many businesses will be forced to shut down and possibly file bankruptcy due to the new law that CPSC has mandated and Congress has passed in August 2008.
Please read this article on the potential of National Bankruptcy Day to see just how unfair this is to millions and the devastation that it will bring not only to families first hand who count on their business as sole income but the the already declining economy.
You tell me, will there be a bail out for the hardest workers in America who are the real grease that keep the wheel moving!

Kim - Congratulations on the new blog; I'm looking forward to seeing the new look of your site!
Thank you for bringing this issue to the attention of your readers. My first thought was that how can product testing be anything but a good thing for our children, in my case, our (future) grandchildren. But after reading the original blog post, I'm astonished that the effect (or is it affect?) on small businesses does not seem to be a concern to our law makers. With the economy in such a bad state (not to mention the environmental impact this could have) I can't believe that another solution can't be found. I'm not against testing and regulation, but there has to be a solution that does not impact the small business in such a detrimental way.
thanks Carrie for your feedback! I initially agreed too that product testing is essential for child safety! However, why is it that when Auto Makers need to make a safety change in the performance of their vehicle they are given sometimes years to make that change?
This testing was forced to be done with in 6 months or as you read product must be considered condemned! NO phase in plan for smaller businesses or even assistance/rebate (haha)toward testing to entice the small business to STAY in business.
In addition this was not publicized enough and I know many mompreneurs that recently found out and have even less time to follow this rediculously illconceived plan!
Cute site!!!
It's so ridiculous- they have no idea how many people this will impact. A group has started a class action law suit, you can check it out here: http://reformcpsia.org/
Thanks Sassy Pink Boutique for that link to vote for reform. I know I have googled as many signed as many reform suits that I could find. I hope this works!
