This is the second Recall in a week for Lead in Paint. I thought that it was illegal to manufacturer kids toys with lead paint. I guess the industry wasn't informed?? We all need to start to support the smaller toy manufacturers that use materials that are safe for our children today as well as tomorrow!!Related Articles:
