U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Info and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 January 8, 2009 Release #09-086 CPSC Recall Hotline: (800) 638-2772 CPSC Media Contact: (301) 504-7908 In February 2009, new requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) take effect. Beginning February 10, 2009, children?s products cannot be sold if they contain more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead. Certain children?s products manufactured on or after February 10, 2009 cannot be sold if they contain more than 0.1% of certain specific phthalates or if they fail to meet new mandatory standards for toys. Under the new law, children?s products with more than 600 ppm total lead cannot lawfully be sold in the United States on or after February 10, 2009, even if they were manufactured before that date. The total lead limit drops to 300 ppm on August 14, 2009. Sellers of used children?s products, such as thrift stores and consignment stores, are not required to certify that those products meet the new lead limits, phthalates standard or new toy standards. The new safety law does not require resellers to test children?s products in inventory for compliance with the lead limit before they are sold. However, resellers cannot sell children?s products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to have lead content, unless they have testing or other information to indicate the products being sold have less than the new limit. Those resellers that do sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties. As of August 14, 2008, it became unlawful to sell recalled products. All resellers should check the CPSC Web site (www.cpsc.gov) for information on recalled products before taking into inventory or selling a product. The selling of recalled products also could carry civil and/or criminal penalties. Please visit the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov for more information.

I have been shopping in this store since they opened. I spend more than $5000. I was shopping thrift store not because I am poor or less quality person, I was shopping because I was giving to somebodies who need it. I am not shopping any more. Today 7;30am I put a box on my shopping cart. There was two same price two different places so I took one of them. I was planing to take the other one too of course after I pay for it. Like I said I was giving people, so I don`t want to them to see the price. At 11;30 I paid everything. I was going to outside the store. Security did not let me go, They treated me Like I am a thief, He said he saw me I took the price. He lied about that I changed the price. I told him you saw me at 7.30 am, Because I put that box 7.30. why you did not tell me before so I can show you 2 same price tag so I would prove myself that time. Why he waited until 11.30 I finished my shopping and about to go home. I explained everything to the manager but he said he (the other man) working for the store so he believed him not me. He said he is going to call the police or I have to sing some papers.Like I am a criminal They took a picture of me. Shame on them. What kind of manager he is He does not know who is telling the truth who is lying. Even I find 1 million $ I give somebody who belongs the money. I do not know about your religion but I afraid of GOD. I can not lie. If I am not right I do not spend my time to writing to you. I am high quality person and I do not deserve your street talking like it is noting (you are not going to jail) What jail !even I find money in my company Where I am working I give The Lost and Find Department. Everybody has different background so do not treat everybody the same. Still I believe There are good people in the word. Now I am praying that I don't have to call the police because I am so angry.

The parking lot is full of street people who ask for money. Once inside the store you will find plenty of items but the prices are super high. Dollar store items for double the price. Plenty of clothing but the prices are too high. The Salvation Army down the street beats them by half in prices. The workers are very rude and if you can find one to ask a question you better know Spanish. Security is very rude and he likes to harass you by checking your 80 cents item as if it was $800. The store is not bad in quantity of items but as far as finding a deal you better look hard. The employees need English classes and management needs schooling on thier attitudes.I would not return as there are so many thrift stores that offer much cheaper prices in the close area. They need a trip to them to see.
