Recently I came accross the issue of all the recalls of toys made in China. They talked about the lead based paint issue and the issues with the quality control in China. Now, I'm in the debate of what kind of toys I should buy my daughter since everything goes to her mouth these days.
This is an extract of one of the articles:
"Why is lead paint — or lead, for that matter — turning up in so many recalls involving Chinese-made goods?
The simplest answer, experts and toy companies in China say, is price. Paint with higher levels of lead often sells for a third of the cost of paint with low levels. So Chinese factory owners, trying to eke out profits in an intensely competitive and poorly regulated market, sometimes cut corners and use the cheaper leaded paint."
The problem is that most of the toys are made in China and the ones that tend to be pricy. Also, there are some very cute toys
I don't want to be "intense" about the issue, but I do want to protect my daughter. However, as much as we want to proctect our children, to make sure nothing would happens, they would have to live in a bowl!
I would like to hear some points of views...
