Another Toy Recall





















Would it kill them to put the dang pictures ofthe toys IN the article? Sheesh, I posted what I could find folks, some pictures of the recalled toys are here (I did not include the Thomas the Train line recalled there were too many)

"China-made kid's jewelry, toys recalled WASHINGTON - Toys and children's necklaces made in China were recalled Wednesday, including five more items from the popular Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway product line, because they contain dangerous levels of lead.

RC2 Corp.'s "Knights of the Sword" series toys and some of its Thomas and Friends items, along with floor puppet theaters and gardening tools and chairs for children, were among the more than 601,000 toys and children's jewelry announced in the recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recalled toys contain high levels of lead in their surface paint, and the necklaces and jewelry sets contain excessive lead in some of their metal parts..."

When will the CEO's of these large toy companies finally wake up and bring the manufacturing of these toys back home to America where we have the quality control and the lead free paints for these toys. By trying to save money in which to pad their enormous profit margins, they put our children at risk by having toys made overseas where quality control is non- existant and safe materials are not used. As American consumers we should all stand together and demand safe, quality, American made products, not only for our children, but for ourselves as well. Now we can really see capitalism in it's finest form, down with free trade, bring those jobs and products back home where they rightfully belong!!!!!
