LEAD in Toys

The recalls on children's toys seem to never stop. If you hadn't heard, several
Thomas toys were recalled because of excessive lead in the paint used on
them, and now a HUGE list of Fisher Price toys are being recalled for the same
reason-- mainly Sesame Street, Dora and Diego, and a few Blues Clues toys.
All made in China, of course.

I'm beginning to think we should only get toys made in the US, or start buying
the more old fashioned kind (unpainted wooden cars, anyone?)-- or maybe just
make our own! Goodness knows we've all blown enough money on toys to last
a lifetime... Let's not have them POISON us, too!

See the list of recalled Fisher Price toys here.
