This month, I have had to return 4 of Lucas toys because they were recalled due to lead. One of the sites I visit daily is taking a stand against unsafe toys. It would be great if you could spare a few seconds to do the same. I did.
"Those of you who have been regular readers of our blog are surely aware with the problem of lead toys.
For those unaware as to why we at MomSquawk are so concerned: lead poisoning can cause serious and lasting damage to the brain and nervous system, including seizures, coma, and even death.
And when innocent play has become hazardous, something is seriously wrong.
The scariest part about all of these recent recalls is that these are just the unsafe toys that have actually been caught. The dangerous manufacturing processes producing these toys aren’t confined to small companies. As you’ve read here, even some of the country’s largest toy manufacturers have traded child safety for profits.
Something needs to be done. We are going to try and do our part, but we need your help.
Please sign MomSquawk’s open letter to toy company executives, Congress and the Consumer Product Safety Commission to let them know that we will no longer tolerate such needless dangers to our children’s safety. And please help us spread the word about this issue so important to the well being of our children. A few seconds of your time in sending an email to friends and family asking them to also sign the letter can make the difference in keeping children safe.
For questions about this initiative or how you can get involved, please email safetoyinfo@momsquawk.com."
