The one I read had no mention of the issues you bring up. If the problem originated in China, with them not conforming to existing US limits on lead, why does that necessitate lowering the current US limit? If China didn't respect the last limit why is a lower version going to affect them? And if China is the problem, why are we putting the impetus on American Manufacturers? It just feels like no part of this actually addresses the issues of the problem its ostensibly being designed to combat. In fact, by increasing the costs of domestic manufacturers, and putting smaller producers like Daniel out of business, doesn't that just mean larger corporations will increase their market share- and address the increased costs by importing more goods from China?? I'm a good liberal and like strong environmental regulations, but it seems like this is just wrongheaded. Nice of wordpress to link to articles in FAVOR of the law directly after your post.
