Here is a press release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. I like to think that my letters helped :) And hopefully they will amend a few other parts of the law so it will help small toy makers, especially handmade toys.
Subject: CPSC Press Release
The CPSC has issued a press release which states that sellers of used children’s products, such as thrift stores and consignment stores, are not required to certify that those products meet the new lead limits, phthalates standard or new toy standards.
However, it must be noted that "However, resellers cannot sell children’s products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to have lead content, unless they have testing or other information to indicate the products being sold have less than the new limit. Those resellers that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties."
