    I think it is sorry to pass a bill to stop selling second hand clothing for kids
    this is the only way lots of families have of clothing their kids today for so many people has lost jobs due to the economy like myself.

    I would also like to add that new clothes often contain high levels pesticides and sovents such as formaldihide and flame retardants. I believe that my children are safer in used clothes which because of repeated washing have lower levels of these pollutants

    I am shocked that someone would pass a bill so that kids clothes can't be sold second hand, apparently you don't realize that for some people that is the ONLY WAY they can cloth their kids, this is shameful. Maybe it's the manufacturers that should be fined for making the products hazardous in the first place.

    Do you people realize the state our economy is in? In the past I have had to clothe my children through organization's such as the salvation army and good wills also hand me down's from family and stranger's had it been not for these my children along with other people's children would have gone without clothe's for School and ect. I am totally against this and was under the impression that we the people have a say in what law's are passed and not passed! This is wrong to take away a mean's of clothing our children affordably and forcing us in shopping in place's we cannot afford. Doe's any-one out there know that there are alot of people in the United States {ALONE} THAT ARE POOR AND HUNGRY, Thank God for the soup kitchen's also. If there is truly lead in these clothes someone need's to be checking into the manufactures and quit trying to take away our right's and freedom of American People.Enough is Enough Thank You..

    As much as we need to regulate toxins which could affect our families, this bill seems to be at the wrong end. Regulation needs to start with the manufacturers. So many people depend on thrift stores; I would not have been able to clothe my kids or supply my kids with toys. Please revise the bill. Thank you.

    What a waste to throw away perfectly good items
    that could be enjoyed by someone else! We certainly are not teaching our children anything about being thrifty and recycling items for other uses. Lets keep these things out of the landfills. I love my resale shops!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's absolutely ridiculous that used clothing toys and books are being included in this ban. Many people depend on thrift store items to provide clothes,books and toys for their kids. Is this the time(given the economy) to throw all these reusable items in the trash??? Please use your brains if you can

    Many parents cannot afford new clothing. I shop regularly for me and my daughter at our local Goodwill. Please leave second hand shops alone as many parents are in the same boat.

    In these economic hard times, why are we focusing on this? Please allow folks to be thrifty! I just spent $140 on a pair of good hiking boots for my 14 year old son. I don't believe in buying used shoes (especially for hiking). But, otherwise, I don't know how I would have been able to keep my children in clothes! And, I'm middle class professional. I just like to reuse/recycle/reduce. One outfit from consignment is one less out of China.

    Just what do you think parents will do with used clothing with much more use. Perfectly good clothing should not end up in a landfill. That is ridiculous.
