Lead-tainted toys continue to be recalled. But toy makers and China don't deserve all the blame. U.S. regulators have been napping.
  • How many people

    are actually hurt from these toys? It seems like every time some deeply stupid or undersupervised kid eats a toy or gets impaled on it, yet another product is yanked off the shelves. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that babies swallow everything they can get their little hands on. You also don't have to be a rocket scientist to teach kids what is food and what isn't. This is beyond the lead in paint issue. This is an issue of parents not sussing out the appropriateness of a toy and not supervising (or arranging for supervision) of their kids.

    Back to the lead paint thing - we need to support EU and US made companies by buying their stuff and take the time to boycott Chinese made products until they get their fecal matter grouped.
