They have never been sold by toy stores and have never been represented as toys, but as scientific, educational devices. It would be like saying a microscope or a test tube or a small steam engine is a toy.
Of course the government can define anything as a toy. |
It seems that the feds are going after everyone, what about the wood toy manufacturer in North Carolina. Natural wood, but, the feds are going after them.
And, what about the classification for motors as a class C toy propellant device?
Be looking over your shoulder on this one, the feds are just plain nuts, the economy is in the toilet, yet, they are trying to force the mom and pop businesses out as well as the mid range companies.
WE all know that model rockets aren't toys, try to convice the feds on that one. They must be motivated by greed and the need to get more money, your money on a silly regulation.
What are the feds going to do about houses built in the 30's and 40's and 50's with lead paint, they may not be toys, but, probably most of them contain lead based paint.
They, the feds. should be going after China and others who profit from Americans in one way or another on their cheap "crap" and the US manufactuers profit at our expense.
Case in point, beanie babies, are made for around 25 cents in China and sell here on average for $6.99.
No wonder the American economy is now in a recession.
