The FDA Gets in Women’s Panties: Reusuable Menstrual Pads Subject to $4000 a Year.

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Government once again destroying freedoms.

Well, our good friends at the FDA are looking out for us again. Thank goodness we have them to fine us, charges us fees, regulate perfectly natural things, and keep us safe. Heck, who knew that women couldn't even safely menstruate without them?

The FDA has decided that reusable menstrual pads are Class I Medical Devices. That means those who manufacture these products must pay an annual fee of THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS to continue doing so. Not only must these ladies armed with sewing machines pay taxes on their income, they must pay a fealty charge to the FDA to continue making a living this way. FDA Regulation #884.5435 states that a reusable menstrual pad maker must be "FDA compliant" – which means they must pay a yearly registration fee of $3,646 to remain in business for 2015 and a fee of $3,872 for 2016.

This is part of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act…also known as "The government gets a piece or they put you out of business." As people strive for more independence from Big Business, this will serve to put them firmly in their places.

Also covered are those who sell them.

I remember seeing these things in a secluded corner in a plain wrapper in a store that catered to the Amish and Mennonite community around where we used to live. The small rural store (that also sold fish bait) probably cannot afford the fee, and will most likely drop the product. And which will also put the local lady that made them, and, as I understood it, hot pads and other items, in a difficult position of deciding to abide by the law, or make them and sell them 'under the table'.

Wonderful news to those that need such things, no?
