Lead paint in the news again. So is China. Separated at birth?
From
MS/NBC/AP:
Fisher-Price recalling almost a million toys
Chinese vendor used paint with lead on items meant for preschoolers
Toy-maker Fisher-Price is recalling 83 types of toys — including the popular Big Bird, Elmo, Dora and Diego characters — because their paint contains excessive amounts of lead.
The worldwide recall being announced Thursday involves 967,000 plastic preschool toys made by a Chinese vendor and sold in the United States between May and August. It is the latest in a wave of recalls that has heightened global concern about the safety of Chinese-made products.
Hello over there in China -- could you just get it the fuck together. Something that is obviously a child's toy should not be painted with a lead-based paint.
