Sad. It is really sad the extend to which manufacturers are willing to put our children's health and lives in jeopardy to just make a profit.
The current batch of recalls tend to be related to paint that has high amounts of lead, which brings me to wonder what about the children's books and ink? How much lead are in those? Is anyone even testing children's books?
Here is a site that is trying to list toys that have been independently tested to be free from surface lead and embedded lead. Unfortunately they do warn that even though these toys tested OK, that does not necessarily mean other batches of the same product (future or past) will not contain lead.
