DUNWOODY UMC CONSIGNMENT SALE GUIDELINES

DUE TO THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT 2008

In August 2008, Congress passed a new law called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 2008. The new law was passed to protect our children against lead poisoning. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires manufacturers to certify that children’s products made after February 10, 2009 meet all of the new safety standards and the lead ban. “Children’s products with more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead cannot lawfully be sold in the United States on or after February 10, 2009, even if they were manufactured before that date.” Consignment Sales and Thrift Stores are not required to test all products they receive for resale; however, as a consignment sale we are expected to not accept and sale any products on the CPSC Recall list or banned lead list.

In the best interest of our children, the Dunwoody UMC Kids Consignment Sale will NOT accept items that appear on the CPSC recall or banned list. As a consignor you must review this list and be sure that you do not bring items on this list to consign.

The recall and lead lists of unacceptable products are located on the web at www.cpsc.gov.

Any items pulled from the sale not meeting these new guidelines will not be returned to the consignor.

Some of the items the Dunwoody UMC Kids Consignment Sale will NOT accept are:

• Beginning August 2011, the sale will not longer accept maternity clothing.

• NEW! Graco Quattro and MetroLite Strollers , manufactured prior to November 2006 unless they have received a repair kit.

• Any clothing with charms or jewelry attached (including swimsuits, socks and shoes)

• Children’s jewelry (including but not limited to metal and plastic dress up jewelry)

• Any clothing items with drawstrings (including but not limited to hooded jackets, sweatshirts, and swimsuit coverups)

• Painted cribs (manufacturer painted or personally painted)

• Cribs with sliding sides

• Stork Craft Cribs (unless you have a letter to prove the replacement of the mattress support brackets)
