Time to padlock paddle peddlers!
A call for action from Susan Lawrence, September 25, 2007

Blair Cedar of Camdenton, MO, sells wooden paddles with pictures and writings about hitting children, such as "Apply When Needed," "Dad's Rules" and "You'll get a whippin." You can see these paddles on p.29 of their catalog: www.blaircedar.com/blair2007catalog.pdf Please take action against these disgusting items that encourage child abuse!

Here are some actions to take:

  1. Complain directly to Blair Cedar by calling them at 1-800-325-3943 (within US) or 1-573-346-2235 (outside US).
  2. Complain to Blair Cedar by email: matt@blaircedar.com and CC your letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission: info@cpsc.gov
  3. Sign the petition pledging to boycott Blair Cedar products: www.boycottblaircedar.org
  4. Pass this alert on to others.
Thank you for taking any or all of these actions! Blair Cedar has been selling these items of child abuse for years. It's time they stopped!
