Well, they need to do their homework a little better. Yes, there is a
federal agency that is doing a campaign called Resale Roundup. They aren't
targeting garage sales or your local church bazaar. They are targeting
resale stores and internet stores. And why not? If you are selling
something that is known to be dangerous and has been removed from the
shelves of stores, what the heck are you doing selling it anyway?
CPSC is working with NARTS, the Salvation Army and several other
organizations to "alert re-sellers about recalled products . . ." etc. AND,
NARTS (National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops) is in full agreement
with CPSC about getting recalled products off the market.
Now, as to the little girl in Tulare. She wasn't doing this in front of her
house like most kids do. Her mother packed her up and took her to a busy
street corner. The code official was at the corner doing something else
when he informed them it wasn't *safe* to do that on that corner and that he
thought they needed a license. He helped them pack up their stuff and then
offered to help them find a better place to sell the lemonade. And the kid
got what she wanted without having to sell her lemonade -- free tickets to
Disneyland.

The press corp is fact-adverse but very fable friendly.

so much for change.....regarding Garage sales and Church Bazaar's, take
note that they say this is a Federal Law.
