Nope, not surprised at all. Are we going to learn and stop buying anything from China? Let them call in our loans, then tell them to go to hell.

People, think about this. It is a wood box, about 14 inches high by 19 inches wide. I have not seen any report on the age group this was sold to. But this is a BIG wood box!! Do kids now try to eat the frickin box or the crayons like we did? I don’t remember trying to eat BOXES!! I bet these toys are “safe for the intended purpose”. Just like almost ANY product if used in a manner not intended.

If China shifted it’s manufacturing base to fishing weights and bullets they’d stop having all these problems.
