Congress passes law
Many Thrift Stores to Close

Some owners say the cost of testing for lead
will shut their businesses.
The law goes into effect Feb. 10.

Barring a reprieve,
regulations set to take effect next month
could force thousands of clothing retailers and thrift stores
to throw away trunkloads of children's clothing.

The law, aimed at keeping lead-filled merchandise away from children, mandates that all products sold for those age 12 and younger -
- including clothing -- be tested for lead and phthalates,
which are chemicals used to make plastics more pliable.
Those that haven't been tested will be considered hazardous,
regardless of whether they actually contain lead


"They'll all have to go to the landfill," said Adele Meyer,
executive director of the National Assn. of Resale and Thrift Shops.

The new regulations take effect Feb. 10
under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act,
which was passed by Congress
last year in response to widespread recalls of products
that posed a threat to children,
including toys made with lead or lead-based paint.

Supporters say the measure is sorely needed.
One health advocacy group said it found high levels of lead
in dozens of products purchased around the country,
including children's jewelry, backpacks and ponchos.
