Toxic Toys Databases

With the holidays fast approaching and toy recalls being announced daily, it occurred to me that someone should create a database of all toys being reported to contain lead or other toxins. I looked, and found that people already have. So if you want to check anything before buying it, here are some links.

Wow... so many with lead issues. And it's only in the past few months that this has become a news item. I wonder how many toys prior to the headlines were coated with lead paint.

It's a good thing that there are databases like this, but I wonder how many parents know about them.
