The nanny state is in full force! Obama's CPSC is trying its best to put American businesses out of business: "Run back to the store and demand your money back!" CPSC is trying to tell us what idiots we are that we might burn ourselves with a hot teakettle. Or crib fabric might "rearrange" and smother a baby. "No incidents have occurred," they say, "but they could!" According to whom? This is theft by the federal government, and CONTROL, and their much-touted "redistribution of wealth" and one more of their attempts at trying to make capitalism a bad word. My hope is that consumers will use their own God-given common sense and KEEP THESE PRODUCTS and use them wisely. We will survive, even without the federal governemtn telling us what to do. After all, I had charm bracelets as a little girl, and I never ate one of them.
