I almost cried when I heard this on the radio this morning! I bought this toy for my kids! They have played with it for HOURS!!!

I keep thinking..."You purchased the date rape drug and handed it to your kids!"

I have thrown a majority of the stuff away, but I keep thinking there is more in the house. After they made the stuff, they would take it off to play with. What if I missed on and one of the kids puts it in their mouth??? What if one of the animals finds a piece and eats it???

HOW DO I KEEP MY KIDS SAFE????

Sorry I am being so dramatic...This one really rocked me...

I just had to call my mom & tell her to take them back. She'd bought some over the weekend for the kids to play with when visit at Thanksgiving. I'm glad I decided on books, games & puzzles this year for gifts.

I hear you ladies. My toy bill is a bit more expensive this year, but dang I know the stuff is safe!

it is situations like these that are going to get american manufacturers, toymakers, etc back in business. if we stop depending on china, japan, iraq, saudi arabia for everything we need or desire, then their systematic destruction of america thru poisoning of our food, dog food and now lead paint on kids toys..and if the government officials would stop taking pay offs to look the other way when a shipment comes in..or hire more inspectors and fire the company executives that sit up in their sky high offices and send american jobs overseas for cheaper labor..well this is what it got us..poisoning and drugging of our society. Look at the labels of the thing you buy.. Walmart used to be proud buy in america merchants, now i doubt anything they carry is done in america. Buy from the mom and pop's the local person who owns the boutique, yeah its more expensive but it supports locals, it keeps americans in business and employment, and if we support them, they will expand and support us. What comes around goes around and right now its biting toymakers in the arse..by sending jobs overseas. ohh i don't think hannah needs to apologize either, she's just speaking from a moms point of view saying the things we are wanting to say but no one will listen to us. They will if you shop with your dollars and don't buy their crap anymore
