Oldtimer Speaks Out I’ve been watching with interest the Toy recalls. I think we are overdosing with fear over very little risk. Let me say up front, we should not tolerate toys that have any lead in their parts or paint but I think the correct reaction is to remove them from the shelves, ship them back to the manufacturer at their expense and ban further shipments from that manufacturer until we are satisfied they have changed their paints… but no recall unless there are actual lead parts in place and/or the paint is contaminated to some very high level. Most toys in these recalls have very little.
