all these toy recalls........VENT!  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
these toy recalls and kids getting sick is really something else. and now that i have a little guy to worry about once he's bigger and will be putting stuff in his mouth left and right, i worry even moreso than i did w/ megh...

the odd thing is megh was so set on getting those aqua dots. they were more than i thought at the grocery store the other day so i got her a barbie island princess doll instead. and then today, we were all set to get the aqua dots and there were NONE. they either sold out or...now that i saw the news clip on that little boy ingesting his big sister's aqua dots on yahoo i'm assuming they were removed from the shelf. these toys should be non-toxic. i don't give a hoot where they are made or come from...they should all be non-toxic inside and out. we shouldn't worry about our littler ones getting sick from the bigger kids toys and such... : now i am not so sure i want to buy aqua dots. hmmm. although that could be w/ anything...paints megh has that are acrylics or moon sand maybe or whatever else. ugh. makes me just want to go wooden and totally natural.

I'm refusing to buy anything from China period. I absolutely believe they are doing this on purpose. My dd's bday is Monday and I wanted to pick up another gift last night....I bought a book. Only thing she would be interested in that wasn't from China. I dread Christmas time when the grandparents start buying a bunch of crap that I tell them not to anyway.

My parents are ordering everything online because Dad is having knee surgery this week. Not like they will be able to check for labels before buying. I'm thinking on showing the kids the websites with more natural toys on it and having them pick out stuff that I know isn't going to be toxic. Either that or build their video collection.
