Get The Lead Out: Keeping Toys Safe
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

At last, some good news in the toy industry! Hasbro, the second largest toy maker, has hired a firm to lobby the government on product safety issues. Now maybe when we buy toys for our kids, we won't find out months later that they contain lead, turn into date-rape drugs, or perforate internal organs. Doesn't really seem like too much to ask!

Check out the article.

And if you notice a new "look" to our blog, we've decided to pull back the curtain and show our face--or rather, my face! I've been writing most of the posts for Safety4Kids, and along with Sheila Josephson, writing the Kid Nation posts on WebMD's TV Checkup blog. Now don't get mad - we wanted to like the show - we just didn't!

I'll be writing more often, offering information, comments on relevant safety issues, and asking some of my colleagues to share their thoughts, too. And I'm going to give you some fun media to share with your kids. And I promise...no lead in any of it!

Be Safe!
