we have all heard in the news about how so many items coming from China have lead in them. I have heard a few people on here recommend toy army men as toys for gliders. I bought my first pack yesterday thinking about how much Arwen loves to attack plastic, and thinking that there was a few video opportunities there (help its a giant glider!) after I got home I got to thinking about the lead/china thing. I did email the company that distributes them, and am waiting for a response. does anyone else worry about this? how do we go about finding out if a product is safe? I did find this site about plastics http://healthychild.org/5steps/5_steps_5/?gclid=CPLr7cDMsaUCFYHc4Aodk0PWYgnotice the plastic for toys? AVOID. ugh

If you notice the one for toys that they say to avoid is also the one for baby teething rings so I wouldn't worry to much about it. you also dirnk pop and water out of the others that they say to avoid. Plastic is what it is a recycled product so you take your chance when you use it. I wouldn't worry about it.

whats next asbestos blankies?
Hope not! LOL Actually, those were made during the biblical era (well, tablecloths were). You can buy home lead test kits from Toy R Us or Home Depot/Lowe's. If you have real concern, you could always test the product. If it turns out there is lead, then it would need to be reported so a recall could be issued. If it's negative, then let them play and get those videos!
