I’m beginning to think that this is never going to end!  FoxNews has an article this morning about Winnie the Pooh Playsets being recalled.   Below is a quote from the article:

More than 90,000 children’s products, most imported by J.C. Penney Co. Inc., were recalled Thursday for containing dangerous levels of lead, a government safety group announced.

J.C. Penney recalled Chinese-made Winnie the Pooh play sets and decorative ornaments with a horse-theme, as well as art kits made in Taiwan and Vietnam. Totaling 70,400, the toys imported and sold by J.C. Penney all had excessive levels of lead in their surface paint.

Lead is toxic if ingested by young children. Under current regulations, children’s products found to have more than 0.06 percent lead accessible to users are subject to a recall.

Parents - if you aren’t concerned, you SHOULD be.   And you should definitely be thinking about buying toys made in the good ‘ole USA!
