Hi,
I remember when we didn't have to worry about the safety of things like toys. But times have changed. See: Report: Toxins Found In One-Third Of Toys Tested
So since our government doesn't check this stuff anymore, please do the best you can to ensure you give your kids safe toys on Christmas morning. Don't ask me how you can tell.

Thank you for the reminder! I know there are theories relating to those toxins in toys and other things that could be linked to the incredible rise in the last decade in ADHD, Autism, and even asthma and other allergies. It is the only thing that makes sense when mixed with certain genetics.
