Is selling banned articles in a yard sale a law violation?

Depends on state, some banned items include “lead painted toys”. But it not enforced in my state.

I don’t believe it’s enforced here. It’s a typical “buyer beware” scenario. I think it’s understood that it’s all secondhand stuff and the seller can’t be held liable if someone get hurt using it.

I think most consumer laws cover business to public sales, but actually specifically excludes private person to private person sales.

What is your opinion of a person that would sell these items in a yard sale?

Unethical. They should be telling people that it is NOT an approved baby thing and say that, in the case of the baby bed, they could use it for a doll house or to store items in.

If parents of young children don´t know about checking the make and model of second hand things for safety reasons, that is a bit sad too.

@cazzie Many people don’t have any idea how to access information on what’s banned (most of that information is available on the Internet which they don’t have access to, they don’t know how to use it, or it’s hidden away in some government pamphlet somewhere). Sometimes it’s just a case of not being informed. You can’t accurately paint people like this with such a broad brush.

@snowberry If they can’t access the information, they shouldn’t take chances and buy potentially substandard shit. and trying to use my own argument in this way is very silly. grow up.

They’re sold on ebay, too @john65pennington. Some people just don’t care.
@cazzie telling a grown woman to “grow up” is a bit ridiculous. Somedays I think you just post to pick fights.

[mod says] Flame off, folks. No need to make this personal.
