...oh, so silly. It was brought to my attention by a blog reader that the second-hand toys and clothing recall thingy was a hoax of sorts. Please see this for further info.
It seems that things were blown out of proportion. There is a clarification in the above Snopes link explaining the exact details of the new law.
Normally I would have done more research, but when a blog post such as the BabyCheapskate one links to an LA Times newspaper article, I assume what I'm reading to be true. And it was true, just overexaggerated.
I apologize for the confusion. Happy Monday!!

Don't feel silly!! I heard about the story a week or so ago, and was also up in arms about it! I got a link to a story on CNN, so I figured it was legit. I only thought to check Snopes after the people at Once Upon a Child had not heard anything about it. I definately don't think we are silly for believing supposedly reputable news sites! Oh, and a tip about clothes, K-mart marks stuff down, and down, and down until its gone. Lots of time you can get new stuff there for between 1 and 3 dollars.
