Get real, you know the little tykes would get terrible splinters. We must protect our children from any risk, ever, anytime, anywhere, anyhow. Wrap them in bubble wrap with an air hole.
When we were kids we weren’t required to wear helmets when we rode our bikes. Our parents didn’t strap us in with seatbelts when we got in the car etc… I’m sure a lot of the toys we played with were choking hazards or had lead paint on them etc… The bottom line is I don’t want to live in a police state where the government is always looking out for my welfare. You as a parent need to be observant and pay attention to the toys and games you provide for your kid. You need to decide if they pass “your” safety standards. If they do and the kid gets hurt, its your fault. If they don’t pass “your” safety standards then don’t buy them. We all need to start taking responsibility for ourselves. By the way…I lived through playing with lead based toys and riding in cars without seatbelts etc.
USA products are so overpriced it is criminal – Thanks to the sheer greed of the companies who provide the products. There should be a moral responsibility to the consumer – Yes, you have been blessed to be able to be one of the fortunate few who have made a name for yourself and hour “shareholders” but for gods sake – why do you think you need a $Million dollar salary or a $20million golden parachute – What could you possibly spend all that money on in your lifetime???
Everyone &$@#*(‘d about the idea that recent candidates wanted to reduce taxes for US Companies – Why do you think they send all of their business overseas (along with thousands of jobs – because workers think they need to make $40.00 an hour to watch a robot put together a car…)
GMAB, just out of curiousity, you don’t happen to know the personal income tax percentage in Europe for individuals do you? I think that could help illustrate whether or not comparing European numbers with American is accurate.
I don’t want my child playing with or being around anything toxic even though she will not put it in her mouth. Why should I buy something with my hard earned money that has been jacked up from the original cost of 2.00 they spent making it and it’s harmful? I pay for a product not a liability. You must not care for your children to state something so stupid. You can buy the toys at free will but the rest of the concerned parents out there have the right to purchase products that will not be a potential cause for harm to their children.
Just because a toy is reported to have a hazardous chemical in it doesn’t mean it will harm every child and it’s not in every toy. You again sound stupid like the other’s who feel this isn’t a problem. Maybe the chemicals didn’t affect your children but it seems you may have been.
Your not to bright yourself. I have yet to look at a toy and see a hazardous chemical just by eye sight. I don’t think the government is trying to control what we buy they are trying to make us aware so that we can decide if we want to purchase that item or not. All those on here saying how they survived with no seatbelts, if by chance you would’ve gotten into an accident and the seatbelt was not avaible you would’ve sued the company for not looking out for your safety and if by chance your child did suffer from playing with a hazardous toy you would sue the company for making it that way. “America is sue happy” You cry let kids be kids until yours gets hurt. So if one of yours get harmed don’t call a lawyer just deal with it because that’s life right.

U.S. Tax on Business, 40% – In Europe, 23%
(http://www.cnsnews.com/Public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=36986)
Great example:
Holgate Toys (www.holgatetoy.com) – 62 piece wooden block set $120.00
Target – Architectual wooden block set (52 pieces – No country of origin listed but you can bet it’s Made in China or Malaysia) $49.99
Which one do you think you would buy???
I used to love playing with the Mercury that came out of the broken thermometer!
No monkey bars at the playground, no dodgeball, no tag or any possible activity that might be harmful to the tykes body or self-esteem.

Why leave an air hole, some pollutants might get in!?!
