CPSIA SPECIAL - Little Lady Monster Hat - FREE SHIPPING
Description
Yes, thanks to the new CPSIA law, effective Feb. 10, 2009, the cost of this hat in baby and child sizes will need to jump from $18 to $3,798. But what the heck! I'll throw in free shipping! ADULT SIZE WILL STILL BE $18, BUT YOU GET TO PAY THE SHIPPING! :OD
CPSIA will require that each store selling products for children under the age of 12 test each product in our shops for lead. Each component will cost $70 - that's EACH COLOR of EACH MATERIAL that I use to create these items. This hat alone has 4 colors of yarn, 2 colors of felt, 2 colors of thread, and 1 ribbon, for a total of $630 for the lead testing alone.
But wait - we also need to add in the additional $350 per component for phthalates testing which adds another $3,150.
If you add the $18 that I originally charge, the grand total to buy this one little hat = $3,798.

PLEASE HELP KEEP HANDMADE ITEMS AVAILABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
