The New Book Ban?

What the hell?

It’s hard to believe, but true: under a law Congress passed last year aimed at regulating hazards in children’s products, the federal government has now advised that children’s books published before 1985 should not be considered safe and may in many cases be unlawful to sell or distribute.Has anyone heard anything else about this

I would LOVE to try to explain that to my parents. Both of them saved books from their own childhoods that we read - probably have all sorts of toxic things in the ink and glue. Not that we care.

Maybe this is a publisher ploy...
