    This is pitiful 1 am one of six and love living in America but, I wonder how a law like this makes things better. I have bought used clothes my my whole life never gotten sick . never had lead and we were tested all the time . The problem in this world is people don't watch their kids . They should not put anything but, Food in their mouths and their wouldn't be a problem. Parents take responsibility watch your kids and stop suing we live in a sue happy world and the lawyers are the only ones making out .

    I have three small children. It costs a lot of money to dress them for the different seasons that we experience in Iowa. There are many garage sales and second hand stores that we frequent to get clothes for our children without paying huge prices. In rural America (Iowa) we are feeling the effects of the economy. Just last week, we heard of layoffs in our rural community of over 160 people. We are being encouraged to go green and stop throwing things in the trash. Please reconsider this act or change the wording to protect us from becoming a poor society without clothing for our children. There is nothing wrong with children wearing second hand clothing rather than just throwing them out.

    Please don't let this bill pass. I'm part of a freecycle group that allows people to pay along clothes and toys to someone who could use them as opposed to filling our landfills with items that are perfectly useful. I'm trying to do what I can to save our enviornment. Before pass this bill think about all the clothes and toys that is going to end up in the landfills.

    Families like ours have survived difficult economic periods, in part, by being able to purchase used clothing for their children at places like Goodwill and Salvation Army store. While my wife & I don't use ebay (or like computer-based selling tools) the younger generation certainly does - and for the same reason we go to Goodwill stores. In the name of commmon sense, please revise the law to allow this to continue.

    It seems completely ridiculous to stop the passing along of children's clothing. In addition to ending small monetary transitions, it will also add to the garbage and landfills in a way that is completely unnecessary! Please fix this!!!

    In this weak economy taking away the ability to buy used clothing is going to hurt numberous families. Don't let this happen to the hard working families just trying to put clothes on their kids.

    I understand your concern for the safety of our young children, but could this law have been lobbied on behalf of stores that feel threatened by the resale of chldrens clothing such as Walmart, Meiyer, K-Mart, Target, Sears, etc. etc. Think about it for a while and then tell me you don't was new clothing when you buy it and then it becomes used. Are your children being threathened by new clothing as well. What is the time line for your clothing not to be threatened. If clothing is passed from one of your children to the next in line is the next child in jepardy of being contaminated by this hazardous product. Please think this through.
