I was listening to the news one day about the toys that were being recalled because the endanger children!

It got me to thinking!

What are the European countries doing about the problem, and why dont we hear about that!

Anyone have any idea? Maybe I just missed the news story!!

Other countries are not importing these toys as we are. Most specifically the trade is with the asian countries.

You know business Fanta, they can make it cheaper there, and so they over produce, and discout further for payment in U.S. dollars. No fees for rate exchange.

It's the responsibility of those who are buying to include the detail of specification - not only is that being side stepped but the testing is not being done either, supposedly a lack of funds. B.S.

I just deletet it, but there was an article in the Washington post about this, in the last couple days - may have been today. I get behind in my personal reading.

Id like to read it. Do you remember the title?

is it paranoia if it is true

Hey, I heard the other day that they're recalling the "Bubba teeth" because of lead traces.

It's truly a sad day to find out that we're importing our "Bubba teeth" from China .

I wonder where all the BOB's are coming from?

Are the Chinese making love to our women as well??

i dont own a BOB and i heard the Chinese have a lot of short Wangs


Seriously though I had no idea Fisher Price wasn't made in the USA till all this came out in the news..scary crap

Hi again - Fanta, I just got back here. I found several recent articles in The Washinton Post. If you have't subscribed you may have to read the articles, but it didn't cost me anything to do that. There are a couple articles here that I have not had time to read yet. Hope the info is interesting.
