I asked, "the avon lady" several months ago if Avon lip products had lead and she calmly reassured me that Avon did put out a letter to address the concerns over lead and that yes their products do contain lead, it's a necessary part of the formulation but it's not enough to harm you.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I don't want to "eat" lead on a daily basis. <BR/><BR/>It would have been better to take a proactive stance on lead. They have let it go this long, and now with all the economic woes, they are finally addressing it? It's a no-win situation. None of us wants more strain on small business but we can see that cancer, disease, serious illness and cognitive issues have been rising sharply for the last several decades.

As a former Realtor I can say that the test for lead is rather nominal in cost in comparison to the amount of damage that lead can do to the human body. It is the REMEDIATION of lead that is cost prohibitive.<BR/><BR/>I always advised my clients that unless they intended to allow their kids to chew on the woodwork of the home they were considering to purchase, they really did not need to worry about remediating for lead paint. Since children do chew on their toys and clothing quite frequently, I actually think this law has valid health concerns.<BR/><BR/>There are still countries that produce paints with lead in them. Increasingly they are harder to get, but I can tell you that they are still available.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, another law can be written that allows the small business owner to choose to purchase from only companies that have products that are lead-free in content. Perhaps they and the lead-free companies could be given tax incentives?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-82972125552429187222009-01-08T12:55:00.000-05:002009-01-08T12:55:00.000-05:00Garner is to Constance asJoyce is to Catholics and...Garner is to Constance as<BR/>Joyce is to Catholics and Jews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-63692867746315474512009-01-08T12:43:00.000-05:002009-01-08T12:43:00.000-05:00I posted this on the previous topic, but I should ...I posted this on the previous topic, but I should have put it here in the current topic.<BR/>__________<BR/><BR/><BR/>Constance, you said:<BR/>"I mislead nobody.

The CPSC has already determined the law applies to every children's item on shelves, not just to items made beginning Feb. 10." <BR/><BR/>"The regulations could force thousands of businesses – especially smaller ones that cannot afford the cost of lead testing – to throw away truckloads of children's clothing, books, toys, furniture and other children's items and even force them to close their doors."<BR/>Valerie Jacobsen states: <BR/>"There's a big difference between me and Wal-Mart or Toys 'R' Us," she said. "They'll have a batch of 50,000. Everything I have is a batch of one because I don't know its history. I'm looking at a testing cost of about $1.2 million.
