Music by Charlie Hope, now available on Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/m6ejyx) . You can listen to other music by Charlie Hope at http://www.myspace.com/charliehopekidsmusic The CPSIA (Children's Product Safety Improvement Act) was signed into law last August 14th, 2008. Without serious changes to this legislation, it will destroy the small businesses that bring us natural, specialty children's products. The range of products affected by the law is truly astounding. Please learn more and contact Congress & the CPSC to call for reforms of this law.

Dec 22, 2008 - Thanks for making this video, it really is sad and I don't think people quite understand how it will impact everyone.

Dec 23, 2008 - UPDATE: The comment at the end stating the the music on this video would be available on CD was apparently premature. CDs apparently ARE covered under the CPSIA. So seemingly they want to take our natural toys, clothes, shoes, bicycles, telescopes, books, AND MUSIC!!!!! Among many many other things. CALL CONGRESS TODAY!

Aug 9, 2009 - On August 14, 2009, Public Law 110-314 will go into effect. Mandatory-Third-Party-Testing is also going to be in force.... that means that every test will average ~ $500. Time to contact you congress person and tell them to repeal this stupid law.
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
