If the projected release date is off by a couple of months, then, you con't blame it on "reputation" rather, a company trying to do what they are required to do.

All good things take time.

Thjis is my personal opinion, and, I'm not a spokesperson for Estes...........

So "regulations" will be to blame for the release date being off by a couple of months? These "regulations" were anounced when? To start 2/10/09. The thing is no new products hit he stores in 08. Not like they should have for such a big year. Now we are all less than patient for new product.

Many companies will be SHOCKED when they are NOT in compliance and the feds come after them.

Testing cost's thousands of bucks, and for large companies such as Mattel and Hasbro, they can absorb such high costs.

Remember the holdiay season of 2007, Mattel was forced to take most of their inventory off the shelves because of contamination.


Not, it's a reality, Feb 10th is the first date of compliance and Aug 10th the second phase.

We shouldn't blame anyone if they are working ahrd to comply with the feds. It's either com0pliance, or, no goods.

This is no excuse, just facts on the compliance of HR4040 and the feds.

This is my opinion...........

It looks like the CPSC is delaying this regulation...
