More Lead in Baby PRoducts ...

Toys "R" Us Inc. on Friday said it was removing all vinyl baby bibs from its Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us stores as a precaution after two bibs made in China for one supplier showed lead levels that exceeded Toys "R" Us standards.


The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a statement in May saying that the lead-contaminated bibs were safe if in good condition. But if a bib "deteriorates to the point that a baby could pull or bite off and swallow a piece of vinyl containing lead, then the amounts of lead consumed could approach levels of concern," the agency said.

Is it just me or is this all just a tad ridiculous...

I agree, its definitely ridiculous! Makes me not want to buy anything that is made in China but practically *everything* is made in China! Kinda scary really!

Yes...and of course, I have and use three of those exact vinyl bibs. I also have one of the Elmo products that was recalled. I am so pissed off about. This Christmas, I am buying only European or American made toys. Little Tykes in American and there are a bunch of European toymakers that are stocked in my local toy store.

It is so maddening.....UGH!
