Leads in kids toys?

Most of my babys toys are from china! Her theme is Hello Kitty. So i've been collecting a bunch of hello kitty things such as stuff animals, hello kitty figures, lamps, tin boxes, those hello kitty mcdonalds toys. Its all made from china! should i be worried?!? Shes just one %26amp; puts everything in her mouth. Do i need to throw them out? One of fisher price toys on the recall list she got on christmas so would it still contain lead?Leads in kids toys?
I would go find the fisher price web site and go through their recall list. I found a toy on there my kids have and reported it, they are suppose to be sending me a package to return the toy and then giving me a coupon for the toys worth to buy a different toy, not on the list. So go check it out, but try to keep her away from any toys you are concerned about until you can find out if they need to be returned. I also saw on the news there is a "Lead Test Kit" you can buy at most hardwear stores so you can test your childs toys with out having to try searching through all the recall lists. Good Luck, and be safe
throw out toys that she can swallow so she cant choke onemLeads in kids toys?
I have just googled Hello Kitty toys, by Mattel. If you go to Mattel.com, they have a voluntary toy recall list. So far Hello Kitty is not on that list. Look at your child's toys. If they are made of material, they are probably ok. If they are painted on, they may contain lead. There are lead tests out there. Google "lead paint childrens toys" and they will have to the right information on testing the paint. If you buy one kit and test it on the Hello Kitty toys, and it is positive, then by all means, remove them from her reach until she is old enough to not put stuff in her mouth. If Fisher-Price has a toy she is getting on the recall list, take it back to the store where purchased for refund, or ask how to get a refund. Don't chance your child's brain development on whether or not to let her play with potentially lead-based painted toys. Those toys are replaceable, her brain is not.

This whole situation with the lead paint is sad. It is an undaunting task to now ask parents to go through toys to see if they are lead-free, to maybe have to test and treat a child for lead poisoning. All because we did not test each shipment of toys for lead poisoning. We at the import borders failed our children here in the US. So, if you buy a lead test kit and one Hello Kitty product that is painted is positive for lead, put them away or throw them out. Assume all the Hello Kitty toys are from same paint source.



Babies often chewed the paint on their cribs, and then we found out the paint was lead-based. We learned.



Babies at 1 explore with their mouths. Watch what she puts in her mouth. And, for that matter of fact, watch years from now that she doesn't put cigarettes or alcohol/drugs in her mouth either.
Yes.lead never goes away.It's up to you if you want to collect them for your on hobby.
