CPSIA is so far-reaching even nursery rhymes & songs are bearing the brunt of the law. Here is what we’ve found:
@DHMrs & @whimsicalwalney:
- There was an old lady who swallowed a lead-free toy, I don’t know why she swallowed the toy, PIRG is such a kill-joy.
- Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet reading her books all day. In came Thomas Moore, their dates he did abhor, and sequestered those books per CPSIA.
- Ring around the rosey, a pocket full of noises, leadless toys, power ploys/All businesses go down.
- What found your mittens? You darling kittens! Now you shall have the lab testing bill.
-My country tis lead-free, sweet land of phthalate-free, of CPSIA I sing/Land where my fathers died (not due to lead poisoning)
@whimsicalwalney
- Baa baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir three lead-free bags full. One for the crafter and one for those who applique and one for the knitter who lives down the way.

I wrote a Dr. Seuss style story last night that I think you’d enjoy – RE: CPSIA

I just posted a piece I call “There Was an Old Lady…Reformed by CPSIA” – it was too long to post here so I’ve put links to you and I thank you for your encouragement for me to ‘finish’ this – it’s not as great s the Dr. Seuss piece (LOVE THAT- SUPERB!!) – but it’s fun. Warmest Regards, Tristan Benz
