Toy Recall

I know this is a frightening situation. Recently my first granddaughter was born. I was shopping at Toys'r'us and noticed most of the toys clothes and baby bibs were made in China. I managed to get some clothes made in India and Pakistan. Then I went to Sears to get some teething toys. All made in China. I spent the afternoon going from place to place to find a teething toy made in France, but it was $24.00. Then I wanted a present for my little grand niece. Again I went from from store to store until I found a neat toy made in Connecticut, but it was $32.00 for just a simple wooden puzzle. I simply cannot afford to pay these prices but my family just refuses to give their kids anything made in China right now. Case in point were the baby bibs that I almost bought, later I read they were recalled because the plastic liners contained lead paint. I don't know what the solution is but the toy distributers should make sure the toys are manufactured to standard and the Consumer Safety Boards should do a better job. I sympathize with you. My own granddaughter has hardly any toys because her parents removed all the Made in China things, so there is hardly anything left. So sad.
