Let's refocus. The claims from legislators (altho technically hearsay, I don't doubt they said those things) bouncing this around as "commerce" vs charity are ridiculous. The reason is, the law specifically forbids GIVING product away that is non-compliant. This issue was specifically addressed in the legislation because commercial enterprises must destroy product. They can't export it and they can't give it away. Besides, if they're giving it away, they are obviously not acting commercially.
I'd love to see what congress does with this one. To give PL an exemption, in effect, they will have to declare that products made from the heart are somehow safer than ones made for profit. Considering that people -no matter how well meaning- who make things out of the kindness of their hearts are on even tighter budgets than commercial enterprises, often relying on lower cost goods and donations, if anything, those inputs being cheaper are more likely to have contaminations (if anything were to). |
My head must be in the clouds...when I found out a few days back that resellers were allowed to resell used goods without testing them I thought this would allow me to donate my unsold stock to charity and allow them to 'resell' (though for no profit), but giving to needy children in my community. This doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why resellers can do it but charities can't. |
