There have been a massive amount of recalls on all kinds of toys lately. For example, the lead paint in several toys, including the Thomas the Tank Engine toys. I had to throw away all of my sons trains because of it. He misses them badly, but I’m afraid to buy him any more because I don’t know if the ones sitting at B&N are lead soaked or not. But he wants them. And it breaks my heart to know that I can’t buy them without worrying about his safety.
Now I have one more thing to worry about before I buy toys for him or even my niece. They’re (whether they know or not I don’t care) hiding date rape drugs in toys now. How sick can people get? And there have been instances where men have used bought them to give to women!! What the hell is going on? Why aren’t these companies being shut down, or having their products replaced with safe, untainted ones? I guess the gov’t would like to spend their money on better things like useless politics, hookers and un-necessary wars.
It’s getting bad. And I don’t know how much longer people are gonna put up with it. Eventually toy companies are going to go out of business because so many products are harmful and people just aren’t gonna bother anymore. It’s a shame really.
