But if you actually look at the regulations, the exemptions only apply to testing. You’re still required to meet the standards if you want to sell stuff to kids; the exemptions just say that you can take the manufacturer’s word regarding the lead content of their products. It’s not a relaxation of the standards, just a relaxation of the verification requirements.

And I’m sure it’ll be the same way for cosmetics and soaps, regardless of what Feinstein thinks. I’m also sure that the people writing this law have the idea in mind that they just won’t enforce it on small producers, that low-volume small businesses can just “fly under the radar”.
