Toy Recalls in the News
I know a lot of people are freaked out about all the recent toy recalls. It seems just insane to me that lead is finding its way into so many products for babies and children. On the one hand, the toys haven't really been a problem because we've tried so hard to not have "character" toys for the Bug to play with, favoring instead more imagination-based toys like blocks, play kitchen, dolls, legos, etc. However, I do think it's appalling that anything made for children not adhere to strict safety requirements.
If you're pissed off to, MomsRising has a petition asking Congress to act to ensure that "toxic toys" aren't allowed in the US.
