I have a 5.5 month old DD who puts EVERYTHING in her mouth and I am really worried with all these toy recalls. While none of the toys that we have are part of the recalls to date, I have to think that this is the tip of the iceberg. Until they find out which Chinese companies use the lead paint, I am really reluctant to let her have any toys from China (and did I see this morning on the news that they also think some of the plastic bibs at babies r us might have been made with lead paint? she puts those in her mouth too!).
We have gotten a few Habba wooden toys (all of the wooden toys are made in Germany with vegetable oil dye/paint we learned, but their cloth toys are made in china). Does anyone have any leads on other non-China toy sources?
While I don't want to overreact, a magazine I was just reading had a good article on the dangers of lead poisoning and it is very scary. If I can spend $100 for piece of mind, I figure I will try to do that and for her "mouthing" toys, get her USA/Germany/France. (But I can't make myself part with her exersaucers, which of course were made in China).
Thoughts much appreciated!
