Goodwill is gleaning through children’s items that they will allow to be sold in their stores per new regulations now in place with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act which went into affect February 10, 2009. A rep with a large notebook explained that Goodwill has always been proactive in pulling recalled childrens’ items. At least this thrift store chain appears to be using some commons sense and at least in Omaha, Nebraska, isn’t making it policy to not sell anything for children!

Yes its mad I tell …
Yes its mad I tell you!
I work at the goodwill in Tulsa, Oklahoma as a hanger, and so I have to watch what I hang up.
Its sad really… AND we have to be careful about draw strings as well!
Good grief. How in …
Good grief. How in the world did I ever survive to 53 years without the Feds telling my parents what I can wear or play with?
This is just nuts, …
This is just nuts, even thrift stores are being affected. I’m all for being safe when it comes to kids, but….wow…
I am a long time …
Why the powers that be didn’t think this through BEFORE passing this legislation last summer is irresponsible IMHO.
I am a long time patron of thrift shops and can’t believe I may not be able to stretch the budget with this invaluable resource as I have for years- buying children’s clothing, toys and books!
This is crap. I …
This is crap. I don’t get it. I don’t here about kids dying from lead poisoning in their clothes. ever.
Insanity, insanity …
Insanity, insanity and more insanity. it never ends. Check out those offhand comments at the end of the report about “surveillance police” who will be “out there watching”. And these two news people are just like “la di dah, it’s all good” about it. Again.. insanity, insanity and more insanity…
OTT MADNESS!
…
OTT MADNESS!
OMG!
The decades of Asian cheap dodgy imports are hoped to be resolved by young graduates with no life experience telling us to stop selling pre-owned items in case they are dangerous – OMG how sad is that!
Were they ok for the previous generation then?
The UK use to be …
The UK use to be known for around 50 or so wonderful types of Apples many of which were used for Natural Ciders or perfect for cooking an pies!
Not so since EEC European rules stopped that, now we have virtually no producers or Farmers and the only Apples we buy are from France, our Cider is now produced from concentrated mulsh from Eastern Europe!
When is this …
When is this mindless direction for our youngsters gonna end!!!
Brainless People in Governement Positions giving us Direction – OMG NO!
