Tiny companies should not be regulated under this law in the same manner that huge companies are regulated under this law. That’s simple and it’s also obvious. If tiny companies had knows about this law when it was first proposed as a bill, it would still be a bill. Now that the problems have been clearly articulated where tiny companies are concerned, it needs to be a bill again. Yes, that’s unheard of. And yes, it would be a difficult thing do to. But this is going to be difficult no matter what. Send it back. It’s the right and most sensible thing to do.

Does the CPSC’s stay provide these manufacturers and retailers with any legal defense if the stay itself is later found to be unlawful?
