Lead Law Has Unintended Consequences (Northfield, MN)

In this Northfield News article we hear more about how CPSIA affects booksellers:

As if the worst economic crisis in 75 years wasn’t enough, Patty Austvold and other sellers of used books must now deal with over-zealous government regulators.

Austvold keeps shop for her family’s used bookstore, Bookfellows, in downtown Northfield. In shops like hers all over the country, proprietors pulled old children’s books off the shelves last month rather than risk the wrath of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and crippling lawsuits.

Austvold contacted area legislators; Congressman John Kline responded and said efforts are underway to change the law, but with the focus on larger budget issues he admitted it could be years before this gets another look.
