This is becoming a weekly event. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced today the recall of another half a million toys made in China over lead concerns. The banned toys include textured Baby Einstein blocks, KB Toys wooden pull-along alphabet blocks and aluminum water bottles from Sports Authority! Also on the list: a bunch of toys from Dollar General Merchandising (in some cases, you do get what you pay for).
On the brighter side, the CPSC says lead poisoning takes time and is cumulative. That's cold comfort when half the closet has been recalled.
