The United States is known as "the land of the free," and many Americans are proud of the freedoms our country grants. But even though Americans are given the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," there are some perplexing things that citizens can't do in the U.S. At both the national and state levels, here are some weird things that are surprisingly illegal in the United States.

Selling dog or cat hair Don't get stuck in the airport customs line trying to bring in any dog or cat fur products, because it's illegal to import, export, sell or transport these products in the U.S. under the Dog and Cat Protection Act. This protects pets from being harmed or killed for their pelts or fur, but it even applies to their excess hair. |

Children's books printed before 1985 Books printed before 1985 are outlawed in the U.S. because the inks, dyes and paints used in the printing may contain traces of lead. Lead poses a serious health risk to children, and it's illegal to sell any products intended for use by children aged 12 or under that contain lead, per the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Many used-book sellers, consignment stores and charity shops like Goodwill will refuse any pre-1985 books for this reason. |
