More lead in toys from China

by @ 8:54 pm. Filed under Current Affairs

Toys R Us has recalled more toys from China.  The problem: lead. Back in August, Mattel recalled some of the popular Polly Pocket toys because of the same problem.  In October the watchdog group Center for Environmental Health announced that lead-containing toys were being sold at places like Wal-mart, Kmart, Sears, KB Toys, Target, RC2 Corp., Michael’s Stores Inc., Toys-R-Us, Costco Wholesale Corp. and Kids II Inc.  Strangely, the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Nancy Nord recently opposed regulations to strengthen her agency, and Nancy Pelosi has called for her resignation.
