walterolson: OK, I admit it: I love the #CPSIA story in part because I revel in retro design. This one's so deliriously over the top http://is.gd/hViU
- curiouswork: @walterolson can state AG's still enforce #cpsia during the stay?
- walterolson: @curiouswork As I understand it, yes, state AGs can file actions -- CPSC has urged them to hold back but cannot stop them.
- JeffStierACSH: @walterolson AG's can file action. But not interpret regulations- as legislation originally proposed. #CPSIA COULD have been even WORSE!
- hillstfr: @walterolson State AG point is crucial - with the "consumer" groups ticked off they're going to turn to friendly StateAG for enforce #CPSIA
- walterolson: @JeffStierACSH "Interpret regs" = depart from CPSC's interpretation? Not sure what's going on here though it does sound bad...
- walterolson: @hillstfr I wonder: will Nader groups egg on AGs/file suit to overturn stay? Were I Waxman/trial lawyers, I'd urge them to lie low instead.
- walterolson: Kenneth Ross (Bowman & Brooke, Products Liab Prof Blog) has a 3-pg summary memo on CPSC's #CPSIA enforcement stay (PDF) http://is.gd/hWpD

- walterolson: WSJ news account attributes #CPSIA stay to "pressure from mfrs", no mention of grass-roots movement at all. Lame http://is.gd/i57X
- cballas: @walterolson Why do they so often talk about this law only as it relates to toys? They just don't get it? #CPSIA
- walterolson: @cballas I think that's the short answer. May try to write a longer, more complicated answer at some point.
