Deja Vu - More Toy Recalls
posted in Bad China Products, Health, Life, Parenting |FoxNews has another article dated October 31, 2007 - Lead-Tainted Toys Recalled. Are you surprised? Below is an excerpt from that article:
WASHINGTON — Toys “R” Us recalled about 16,000 Chinese-made Elite Operations toys because of lead contamination, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.
The military-style toys are recalled because their surface paints contain excessive levels of lead, which 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.
This is the second recall of lead-tainted children’s products for Toys “R” Us this month. On Oct. 4, the company recalled about 15,000 Totally Me! Funky Room Decor Sets because surface paints on the back of the decorating kits’ mirrors contained high levels of lead.
But, this is just one of many articles I found when I did a search on FoxNews of “Chinese toy recall”.
If you’re not rethinking what you are buying for your children, you need to be!
