Well, apparently, the lead testers were quite the busy bees while I have been out of order. I had lots of recalls to catch up on. The Aqua Dots is the most disturbing recall to me. Please make sure you get rid of these if you have them.

We were given those Aqua Dots as a gift a couple of weeks ago for my son’s fifth birthday. I’m pretty sure my daughter had a couple in her mouth before I caught her. Needless to say the whole thing is in the garbage can…scary stuff.
Why does the US continue to bring these deadly toys into the U.S? Are we going to let China kill our children? Let’s boycot everything made in China!
My grand baby was just diagnosed with high lead poisoning levels she is only 2 years old. Is anyone going to prosecute anyone in China for killing or permanently harming our future, our children, our grandchildren?
Let’s quit talking about these lead based toys let’s do something about it!!!!!
