It's also sad to think about what the Chinese workers (many of them children themselves) who made those toys were exposed to.<BR/><BR/>We need to find better ways to create toys for our children--better for the environment and our bodies. Natural toys are one alternative, and I'm glad to see them here.<BR/><BR/>marsha(dot)brofkaberends(at)gmailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785325992683004760.post-28624502786218713932007-09-20T00:39:00.000-05:002007-09-20T00:39:00.000-05:00This is a great offer!

Two reasons congress and the news media outlets are even taking up this issue is because 1) parents are a powerful economic group and 2) that the US has been looking for ways to put economic pressure on China's exports. This is one way of doing so. <BR/><BR/>With the upcoming Olympics China is really trying to turn worldwide opinions of it self. The lead scare is unfortunately and fortunately times to put pressure on China to clean up its act. The unfortunate part is that we have to worry about the health of our loved ones. <BR/><BR/>The bright side is that international companies Including Melissa and Doug will need to take a more proactive approach to ensuring the quality of their products. Which I'm sure they will do. It also allows us as parents to become aware of alternative toy companies. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great info here. hopefuly I'm not the only dad reading this info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785325992683004760.post-30266109657283359052007-09-19T20:14:00.000-05:002007-09-19T20:14:00.000-05:00Well, I think you know my point of view on the toy...Well, I think you know my point of view on the toy recalls. :) But, just for the record. <BR/><BR/>We all need to be more vigilant; China, toy makers, consumers, politicians.
