To further confuse this tangent: I really enjoy knitting, and I'm really good at it. Whenever someone at work has a baby, I whip up a toy or a sweater or something. Someone I work with is always asking me why I don't set up an etsy shop and sell things. There's a lot of reasons, but the biggest reason is that if you sell a toy marketed to kids, or clothing marketed to kids, you're required to show all sorts of proof that your stuff doesn't contain lead (toys) and is all sorts of fire resistant (clothes). There's actually a ton of clothing content labeling requirements in the US. Now, most of the time no one would push the issue of whether or not this hat is really made of 100% wool, especially for one off sales on Etsy. But I've seen discussion of the lead rules impacting people who make wooden toys and try to sell them. And what sticks out in my mind is "Sure, no one has gone to court yet. Do you want to risk being the first person to be sued because these baby booties were actually a cotton-acrylic blend, when you had it labeled 100% cotton?"

The analogy is interesting an apt in many situations (food allergies, super market vs bake sale; flamable clothing, mass production vs craft store; and psychological problems, journals vs archives). Many people would say people with allergies have sucked all the fun out of bake sales and school events (that said, I went to the hospital in anaphylactic shock more than once as a kid, although only at the hand of my own family, by the time I reached school age I was told 'Never eat anything at school your mom didn't put in your lunch bag, and suck it up that you can't have fun things like cupcakes.') and lots of people complain that the big imports from China are ruining the indie craft sales world. So it comes full circle that people complain about one more area where labels were intially meant to help and be good, and have come around to backlash.
