[Grovenet] Save Resale Shops

[Jeff Howden]

Some research is seriously needed before talking definitively on a
complicated at like the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008.
Taking the word of NARTS as gospel is flawed and problematic.  From some
very basic research, I've found that the claims made in your email (I've no
idea if you wrote them or copied them from somewhere else) and those made on
the NARTS website are patently false and bordering on scare tactics.

Specifically, resellers and yard salers are *not* required to test products
they sell.

Resellers should check products they sell against a recall list of products
to avoid selling those.  This is something they're already required to do
under the Consumer Product Safety Act or they face civil and criminal
penalties.
