More government regulation that's going to take a bite out of your pocketbook -- a law passed by Congress last summer requires new labels and product testing for lead in children's products. Even products with little or no lead in them must be tested and labelled.
Jolie Fay is a mother who makes children's jackets and fleece ponchos out of her basement in Portland, Oregon. Even though her products are fabric and pose no lead risk whatsoever, they must be tested and tagged at a cost of about $2000 per product. Mrs. Fay won't be able to absorb all that cost, so she'll have to go up on her prices. Another Obama "Gotcha!"
