American kids survived with lead paint on all their toys for dozens and dozens of years. To be harmed by this toy, a kid would have to eat the box. No, make that lots and lots of boxes.

I mean, let’s keep things in perspective.

“American kids survived with lead paint on all their toys for dozens and dozens of years. “

And you’re an authority on the toxicity of lead?
People in the past have consumed and used lots of things they no longer use. There is speculation that part of the fall of Rome is due to the lead used in their plumbing causing mental problems. Oh, but that’s probably made up by the unions in an attempt to make those upstanding manufacturers who use lead look bad.

They used to x-ray kids feet to make sure their shoes fit properly. Once they found out x-rays could cause problems, they stopped doing that. But they did it for a few years and not that many people died, so why stop, right?
