In the interest of making toys safe for children, law makers and government agencies pass regulations that effect toy manufactures. For example, in 2008 Congress passed the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act which demands testing for lead paints. This is aimed to prevent lead poisoning through lead-painted toys, such as cars and jewelry. Top injury lawyers have shown the dangers of lead ingredients in products. Overall, the law aims at keeping kids safe. Of course, that is a good thing. However, the flip side is that now nobody, even stores for second-hand goods, are now willing to stock the older products that did not undergo lead testing. As such, thrift stores are throwing away their toys and products, out of fear of lawsuits,
personal injury claims, and product liability cases. Catch the
