I've been thinking about toys. I know that, for the time being, our children's toys are safe. None of them appear on any recall list (though we have one toy which was manufactured some time prior to the "affected" range). I still can't help but wonder and worry. I dug around through Taron's toys, and the vast majority were manufactured in China. What makes me worry is that I cannot be certain whether any harmful chemicals/materials/contaminants are present. I have no real way of knowing. Some of the children's toys are made by, or licensed through Mattel or a Mattel brand, while others are made by lessor if not unknown companies; and of these lesser or unknowns, how many could have been manufactured at a suspect facility, or a facility owned and operated by a suspect subcontractor? These things bother me. I am honestly contemplating tossing all toys that say China on them - regardless of whether they appear on a recall list or not. Yes, it's a paranoid thing to do, but I just can't be too sure. It's my children that I'm thinking about... Comments?
