    As a first time pregnant mother I find the company to be not worthy of producing toys for peoples children who are more precious to their parents than just making money. This in awful. Being pregnant with my first child i feel that they are fully responsible for this recall and any children affected by it. STOP ENDANGERING PEOPLES CHILDREN!

    Ouch, Heather. My eyes are bleeding. After I read your IMPERATIVE LAST SENTENCE I went out and cancelled my supply contract with my supplier in Kung Pao.

    The only thing worse than your grammer is that your comment is aimed blindly at the wrong crowd. And now my eyes hurt having read it, or at least after I hit the Translate button.

    Congratulations on your good news and I hope all goes well. But make sure you tell all your friends and families to give your child only products made in the USA. That’s the only impact you can have on the marketplace.

    And years from now you can explain to your distraught child why their toy cabinet is so bare. Good intentions but regrettably unrealistic in today’s world.

    Unless of course you work for Big Toy Box Co’s insurer and can deny all the Product Claims arising out of the poor-source selection. Then, Baby, Go To Town!!!

    I wonder if it would make Heather feel any better that the Chinese executive whose company probably made these toys committed suicide?

    As a mother of two young children, a toddler, and a 6-year-old, I admit that I am alarmed by the recent recalls due to lead. Lead is known to cause mental and emotional problems in children. Even more disturbing is the fact that lead poisoning can cause DEATH. This is a serious matter, one not to be taken lightly. I’m sure I speak for many parents and grandparents out there when I say that our top priority is protecting our children. As it is, I am ready to stop purchasing Chinese-made toys…even if they DO make up 80% of the toys out there. Furthermore, if the toy chests in my children’s rooms are bare, then so be it. Honestly, I actually AM going to politely ask my friends and family to refrain from buying my children toys this Christmas. I think it would be a good way to show my children how we can have fun without spending a lot of money, or without “getting lots of ‘stuff'”…If my children’s lives are impacted in a hugely negative way due to their lack of toys(for the amount of time it takes our country to offer its consumers safe merchandise), then I will explain to them that it was either having lots of new play things, or risking their health and safety. What’s more important….”having stuff”…or…”being safe, healthy, and alive”…? –This is just my opinion; you be the judge…

    Hi Sari, :)

    To what measures would you be willing to go in order to ensure your children’s safety? Some would quit their jobs, others would move to another town…many would risk their lives. –If you knew that you would be putting the lives of your children at risk by allowing them to play with certain toys, wouldn’t you consider it reasonable to stop buying those toys for your children? Is having a ‘full’ toy cabinet (of possibly lead-tainted toys) so much better than having a ‘bare’ one? Is it so “unrealistic” to assume that there are people in our society who continue to value life and relationships more than we value ownership and material things? Hmmm….
