I live on the edge of Amish country. There are several places that I know that still make and sell handmade wooden toys. These are real craftsmen who have updated to using some power tools (air powered NOT electric) but who produce toys of real beauty and durability one at a time. These are cars boats airplanes and even three foot long eight inch tall highly detailed tractor trailers. I wonder how these regulations will effect them. If they have to comply by testing models that may only HAVE a production run of ONE, then craftsmanship will be well and truly dead.
