re. this toy recall for lead painted toys .........I'm more concerned about the affects of Plastics , considering they have only been around for a couple of generations, not really long enough for long term studies on exposure.
How many people can say they know someone personally that has been harmed by lead , seems to me at one time every house in the country had lead water pipes , and I'm sure 90% of males aged over 40 played with lead toy soldiers/cowboys/indians etc. and even inhaled the fumes when melting them down on the gas stove , every plumber in the country whoever soldered a pipe should be sick or simple by now from lead exposure. Have studies been done to find out if we are all walking timebombs ,(apart from the remains of a few dead Romans who ate off lead plates )? seems to me this is a complete over reaction just to sell newspapers
