The paint on the toys contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

Hobby Lobby.
Hobby Lobby.
Hobby Lobby.
Hobby Lobby.
Sorry...I just like saying “Hobby Lobby.”
Something I ponder, if lead paint and all that was so horrible, how did people survive all those years when everything was painted that way and gasoline had lead too? Despite removing lead from paint, kids today seem alot dumber to me anyway.
I always did find it hard to believe that kids were eating large quantities of peeling paint.
Are the levels of lead in these paints actually dangerous or is it one of those you’d have to eat 500 painted plastic eggs to be harmed by the paint?
Not that I think it’s OK that products are coming into this country that are not meeting our minimum standards.
I love Hobby Lobby. I can wander around in one of their stores for a long time lol
I never heard of them before I moved to Iowa. The first time I went in the local store I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Although I don't like a lot of dust collectors at home, I buy stuff for the office. I have decided to be the crazy professor with a different desktop tableau for each season. : )
Are they all things included in the Bush Administration's attempt to avoid taking action on lead in consumer products? Are they part of the legal settlement and the new EPA TSCA rule? I admit, I haven't followed the details on this.
All imported from China.
The lead paint fumes cause your mind to wander. They used to have some great deals on model airplane kits.
:^)
It’s one of the worst and most sickening failures of the Bush administration, to continue to try to block monitoring, even after the public took notice.
I don’t often agree with the Sierra Club, but I have to offer them congratulations for forcing the Bush administration to reach a settlement and start to address this issue.
I'd actually put it on the list behind the horrible foreign policy failures in Latin America and the mismanagement of the economy.
