My understanding is that the CPSIA threatens small craftspeople because they are required to test the unit that they make instead of being able to rely on component testing. In other words, instead of being able to rely on a manufacturer's certification that the organic cotton used in a dress is indeed lead free they have to re-test that cotton and the zipper, and the buttons, and the thread. There was an example on http://www.boutiquecafe.com/home/2008/12/17/1943/ of a girl's shirt with an original price tag of $40 that would incur testing costs of $1,025-$1,425. That little waldorf doll I bought last year won't be on the market any longer because the manufacturer will have closed up shop. No worries, I'll just get one of those mass-manufactured Ugly Dolls instead.
