That is true. They are being recalled.
Something in them reacts if swallowed and
creates something similar to the date rape
drug.

different companies, all in china.
i think the fisher-price recalls were the
most shocking. you'd think a huge company
like that would have higher standards.

i think of it as a good thing. of course
i'd rather there be no need for recalls,
but these big recalls are forcing
companies to adhere to stricter rules.
also, most of the recalls have been
voluntary recalls. like the thomas trains-
yes they had lead paint, but probably not
enough to hurt anyone. of course they
couldn't take the chance so they
voluntarily recalled them.
the aquadots are a different story and
that's just crazy to me!

I guess the weird thing is i have never
heard of these things. Chyanne isn't
interested in this stuff. Or the fact that
i won't buy her stuff like that because it
ends up all over the house, or in the
carpet lol. That's to bad about the little
boy though. And it's sad like suzy said
how a lot of things are getting recalled.

the first place

well, you have the option of not buying
toys made in china. china does make 80%
of our toys, so there won't be as much of
a huge variety, plus you'll have to pay
more.
i don't know if i'm a little too lax, but
this doesn't really phase me. if a toy is
recalled i will take it away, but i'm not
going to shy away from china-made goods
just because of this. my toys were
probably dripping with lead when i was a
baby, and i'm still here.

they didn't knowingly use ghb, the
substance they used breaks down in the
body to become ghb. clearly they didn't
research whatever it was they did use!
shouldn't there have been some test to see
if it was toxic or not? i wonder if the
packaging said non-toxic on it.
