I JUST bought this thing a few weeks ago.
Nathan put one little aqua dot in his
mouth out of curiosity. I am so sick of
this recall thing. I am seriously thinking
of banning all MIC toys. Grrr... I was
buying a baby toy the other day and saw
MIC, so I put it back.

heres a thought, raise the age
appropriateness to an age where kids know
not to swallow.... I was in the hospital
at age 13 and did this activity during
recreation. It was fun.

Hey I saw that on the news earlier. I'm
glad I decided not to buy it for my
niece's birthday.
The girl on the television that had
swallowed them in Australia was like 8
years old! She should know better than to
eat her toys.
Why is it that everything Made in China is
being recalled? I absolutely will NOT buy
any toys Made in China. I have decided
that this weekend, I'm going through ALL
of Kyleigh's toys and am throwing all Made
in China away in the dumpster. Hopefully
she has something left.

No kidding. I don't even trust to give
them away. Why would I put them in the
hands of other mothers and their kids if I
won't let my kid play with them.? Grrr...

this will probably sound crazy, but i
think the recalls are a good thing. it
shows that they're really cracking down
now, and these big companies like
mattel/fisher-price can't afford more
recalls which means things should get even
safer (or i'd like to think).
i work in a toy store (similar to learning
express), we've gone through the whole
store and made a list of our products that
are not made in china. let me know if you
want a list of safe companies and i can
get it on saturday.
also, just because it says 'made in china'
that doesn't mean it's bad. you know those
schleich animals that target sells? those
are made in china but the factory is run
by german standards, so though they're
made in china they're completely safe.

i have a hard time wording things... of
course i'm not saying recalls are a good
thing. i just think that these huge
recalls (thomas trains, fisher-price, etc)
are making people look at every toy made
in china. personally, i don't think
without those big recalls that the smaller
stuff would even be examined. who knows
what would be sneaking by.

You're cute. I completely understand what
you are saying. I do think recalls are a
good thing as for keeping our kids safe.
I think they just started really cracking
down. What concerns me the most are the
really old toys we have or that my
husband's mom still keeps for my little
ones to play with. What about other older
items? It's just too risky.

if you haven't heard about it i'm going to
assume it was just an american thing. it
was the first huge recall and people were
up in arms about it.

i couldn't find the list today, but i'll
look again tomorrow.
one company i *love* is HABA, they're in
germany. they're a little pricey but if
you're looking to stay away from china you
have to be willing to pay more anyway.
schleich, as i mentioned before, is made
in china but they adhere to german
standards.
playmobil (they have a toddler line called
playmobil 123) are in denmark (i think).
treeblocks are awesome if you're looking
for something for an older kid, like 4-5
and up. www.treeblocks.com
- check them out, they're really neat!
i'll try to get that list tomorrow!
