You may be in violation of the CPSI Act.

Did you know that the federal government is regulating what you clean out of your closets and attics to sell in a garage sale? Under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act passed in 2008, you can be fined if they catch you selling any item that has ever been recalled by the manufacturer. That covers toys, cribs, venetian blinds, toasters, strollers, bean bag chairs, even pajamas and hooded parkas . . . you name it, and it's covered. You can't even legally sell composition notebooks -- because they have a metal spiral binding.

Adele Meyer, executive director of the National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops, said, "It's just the way it was written, it's almost impossible to abide by this law." 

What are the chances of being caught? I'd guess slim to none, but even little kids' lemonade stands are being shut down. So who knows? It's another case of the nanny state government sticking its nose where it doesn't belong.
