Why are businesses having trouble complying with CPSIA?
When we think of “businesses” we usually think of large companies, but actually about 2/3 of businesses in the U.S. are very, very tiny– they have less than 5 employees. Only a tiny fraction of businesses have more than 100 employees.
The testing required by CPSIA on a small business’ products can easily cost more than the price of an employee. The CPSIA law is so complicated that a business would also have to have an employee to study the law, find out what is required, and make sure it gets done. If a business already has hundreds of employees, this cost is more affordable. But for a business with only one person or a handful of employees, this costs too much.
