Another kids' toys safety question
I think the recalls announced by Fisher-Price have gotten more press.
There have been numerous other recalls that have affected products made
by various manufacturers that have received scant media attention. I
think this is partly due to the fact that Fisher-Price (Mattel) is the
largest toy company in the United States. If you spend some time on the
United States Consumer Products Safety Commission's website you'll
quickly realize that the number of toy recalls announced within the last
six months by the agency is staggering. Finally, I don't believe for a
minute that toys made in China but branded by other companies are
inherently safer. I even worry about LEGO toys. I bought several Thomas
& Friends LEGO sets for my nephew and discovered later that some of
the components were made in China. This sent shivers down my spine.
Frankly, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the U.S. CPSC won't
announce someday that these toys also must be recalled. Please check out
the CPSC's home page and Recalls.gov and bookmark both sites.
