I wonder if some of the toys that we already have in the house have lead paint in them? Just how extreme should I be? Do I throw out all of the toys made in China and start from scratch? And what is the danger level of lead if it’s consumed? My daughter had her standard lead test at her nine month check-up and it came back clear, thankfully. It is a good reminder to continue to be vigilant for our children’s health in this fast changing world where sometimes too much is done for us. Annette, a concerned mom, has provided us with some links and some phone numbers to the top toy manufacturers to check the list of recent recalls:

Hasbro/Playskool (800/242-7276), Mattel (800/524-8697) and Fisher-Price (800/432-5437).For a list of recalled toys, you can go to, www.recalls.gov or www.cpsc.gov

Thanks, Annette! Please share with the LiveMom community- tell us how you have handled this recent rash of recalls.
