I haven't seen any news on exemptions. I know how the media loves to report without all the facts, so I temper that knowledge with what I read in the online LA Times where they said that it would affect Goodwills. That said, this was passed in the summer and yet I never heard anything when I went to the Goodwill (dropping off stuff). I am going to donate more soon so perhaps they will have info on it IF they are affected. I hate to think that all of this stuff could end up junked thanks to the Chinese. But then politicians are rarely (if ever) accused on thinking. CPSIA seems to be poorly thought out and horribly managed. BTW I emailed all of my congressional reps. I hope others will do the same.
