If memory serves, Democrats on the Hill finally agreed to permit an extremely minimal set of legislative fixes narrowly drawn to placate some of the outraged lobbies they simply could not ignore any longer, such as the book publishers. The CPSC itself, once brought under a working majority of Obama appointees, grudgingly allowed some gestures toward component testing that reduce some of the most obviously duplicative cost. Makers and sellers of kids’ goods that were not well enough organized politically to obtain one of the targeted fixes got less relief, or none. I need to set aside a block of time to put the whole story in print, but have kept postponing the project.
