Hi all, Just thought I would comment on something I came across this last weekend that brought the validity of CE in my opinion to new light. (Thanks for opening the door Steve!) This small metallic shinny package about 2" x 3" was sitting in a box on a local 7-11 store counter. My attention was first caught by the name of the item. I picked it up and was looking at this package and noticed the CE logo on the back side. The instructions were in what I would term oriental translated English. I was pretty surprised at the product and its bold display on the counter. (I know, I haven't told you what the product is) With thoughts of amazement I just couldn't believe this was for sale, and for how much? Well, I got a big surprise to find it only priced at 35cents. I couldn't pass this one up. I just had to give this to our product safety guy to show how well international standards are being applied to products. The product? Well the name of it is, Fart Bomb. It is supposed to create a smell that is obnoxious. No, I do not know what it smells like, I am not that interested, thanks! Any correlation here to the lead-free push? Who knows. All I can say is that ANYTHING can be taken to the utterly ridiculous. So, do not fret, good comes from all actions! LEAD FREE! LEAD FREE! LEAD FREE! YEA! YEA! YEA!
