CPSC Lead Laws Clarification for Baby and Me Customers and Consignors

January 9,2009

To Our Valued Customers and Consignors,

In response to the Consumer Products Information Act, all resale and thrift stores waited anxiously this week for the CPSC to clarify the requirements for the new lead laws going into effect on February 10, 2009. Yesterday, the commission clarified that all resalers and thrift stores were NOT required to retain Lead Certifications on the products that are sold in our stores. We ARE required to be diligent about recalled items that may come through our doors. Baby and Me has ALWAYS been in contact with the Consumer Product Safety Commissions website to check recalls almost every day. We want you to know that it is business as usual at Baby and Me and you can rest assured that all equipment and furniture, toys and clothing are checked for safety and suitability for selling.

We love that we are able to bring this service to your community. In these tough economic times, we need your support in order to continue to be able to do business in your neighborhood. Our customers are economically savvy and ecologically conscious, so spread the word! We want to be here for you long into the future and with your support, we will!

Sincerely,

Mary Wygal
