    What's wrong with a little lead? Kids are tough, they bounce back.

      Perhaps there is a way to ensure that this could dispense with only the ones who bounce too much..

      My concern is this may start an epidemic of young boys eating Barbie Dolls.

        I take alot of thes toys and throw them in the easy bake oven.

        Only because it is safe to eat as long as it is not in a large amount.

            American made is gone....all the corporations want is to max profit and the only way is to have things made in China. They will get it right but the Americans expect and get the same quality as they got coming from American people.

              A fortune cookie offensive to reinforce the point would be wise.

                    My countries Public broadcast company (CBC) was quick to defend Chinese manufacturing. CBC brought in a trade expert from Canada, who had vested interested clearly to defend the Chinese, for his personal gain.

                      He explained that the Chinese manufactures are overwhelmed by orders thus they have had to subcontract the work. And the trade expert went on to say the manufacturers were not responsible for the subcontractors work. Cleary this is not true. The contractors received the money to get quality products manufactured; it is the contractor's responsibility. If you disagree do you believe no one is responsible for the quality?

                        Do you think that we the consumer responsible on some level? We buy all day long crappy merchandise and because it's so cheap from Wal-Mart. Often we throw it out within a week what should last maybe a couple of years. We create more global warming. We waste precious resources. Each purchase that we commit feeds many other problems not mentioned here. I am sure some of you are aware of what they might be.

                          Oh on this rather light and humorous topic of lethal and long term medically damaging lead contamination. Here is my joke "maybe they should include a lead pill, so we can instead make our own choice, do I or do I not want lead contamination?"

                          I got Lead Poisoning its party time! Maybe there will be an accidental shipment of products with Cyanide. whats a couple of 1000 deaths?

                          And lets remember to forgive and forget you know China would .

                              Mercury is more toxic than lead

                              Wouldn't it be also be useful if all goods and services for children that contain toxic heavy metals were removed from the market - regardless of their country of origin?

                              Even it the goods and services are profitable and produced in the US - such as mercury fillings and mandated vaccines that contain mercury and other harmful substances?

                              Did you know some vaccines on the market STILL contain mercury â;; a known neurotoxin? Do you know how hard it is for the human body to rid itself of mercury â;; regardless of the persons age? (hence the term 'heavy metal')

                              You may want to review this site for accurate vaccine information - http://www.909shot.com/Default.htm

                              This one provides a video on how mercury causes brain neuron degeneration - http://movies.commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/...

                                Did you know that mercury (even at low levels) is much more toxic than lead?.....

                                The human body does not discriminate â;; it hates all toxins regardless of their packaging or supplier.

                                Why do tobacco and alcohol products have to be labeled with their potential for health risks yet many products that contain heavy metals do not?

                                Can you provide news coverage on where parents can purchase safe and effective diagnostic tools and treatments plans from practioners who know how to help those suffering from toxic exposure - especially kids? Hint- it's not from those who use heavy metals in their goods and services.

                                Hopefully this information will help parents avoid having their child misdiagnosed as having a behavioral problem when the source of their health problem may be heavy metal toxicity?
