Lead in Children's Clothing

I was surprised to learn that lead can be found in children's clothing. In a LA Times article, the writer reports that the children clothing makers are worried about the lead content in children's clothing because of an upcoming requirement for lead content not exceed 600 parts per million effective February 10, 2009. The requirement was included in a law passed last year,. Many clothing makers, however, are indicating that they just learned of the requirement. If that complaint is true, it seem to me that someone at the industry rep level should be placed in the unemployment line.
