Canary in the coal mine

I'd worried this day would come. It appears that a major retailer has started dropping product lines. We don't know whether this is business related or CPSIA related yet, but the curious timing of it coming just two weeks after the CPSIA deadline seems awfully suspicious. If this is CPSIA related, I would expect a great many chains to start following suit on just about everything even remotely related to children.

Um... on second thought, the canary might just be pining for the fjords. I'm trying to get confirmation on this.

Nope... turns out it was just the good old economy taking down another major company. Glad to see it wasn't something important.
