Fisher Price recall toys because of lead paint

Enough with imported low quality merchandise ! Why import from China and not make everything here?

A few weeks ago it was Thomas the Tank Engine, now it's Fisher Price, recalling almost a million toys because of lead paint.

Needless to say half our house is crawling with this junk, and my kid sister is crazy about them. If you're going to take her Elmo away, you're basically risking your life...

Isn't it time we started buying our merchandise in the States, and not from China?

 

WSAV.com posted a phone number you can call to make sure the toys in your house aren't infected.

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


You raused several very important issues:
1.  Why import ? - Well it's free enterprise end let the 
     best win.  If you close the US market to import,
     prices will increase (dramatically) without competition.
2.  Quality and control.  No doubt toys have to cope with 
     all regulations (safety, quality, materials, etc).  How 
     comes that no one makes sure that the regulations
     are not applied.
3.  Toxidity ? - Leaded paint are dangerous.  Should be
     abandoned.
Best regards,
