Well, there is hope.
My cotton yarn and organic cotton yarn hats have been deemed lead free by the government.
Duh.
And now resellers, such as thrift stores, and consignment shops have some reprieve from this strict law. http://cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09086.html

Or do they? Read it carefully, it says that they can sell it, but at their own risk if it contains any lead. I'm not sure how many consignment shops and thrift shops are going to take this news. Exempt should be exempt, and that's that. These are not individually recalled items.
But like I said "The two-member commission, reacting to complaints from manufacturers, also agreed to exempt natural products such as gems and cotton from mandatory testing for lead. "
So this is good news for now.
And read this wonderful blog post from Rick Woldenberg , I especially love the title, but the entire post is dead on.
