It was only a matter of time before this was found. Now in addition to worrying about your kids and their toys, you’ve got to worry about Fido too. My suggestion: stick to giving gifts this holiday that are domestically produced until something is demonstrated to have changed substantially in the manufacturing processes in Chinese […]
This is the oddest and perhaps most troubling chapter in the ongoing toy recall scandals. Now I’m no chemist, but how do you accidentally coat children’s beads with chemicals which transform into GHB upon ingestion by accident?
The affected product is the popular children’s art project toy Bindeez or Aqua Dots which consist of brightly colored […]
Once again we are reminded that there are more faulty products in this market of ours than toys with lead-based paint.
Look out for ground beef from Cargill Inc. which apparrently is contaminated with E. coli bacteria. Apparently the shipment of bad meat may be from as early as October 8th. That means it likely made […]
Yet another toy recall from Chinese products using lead paint. I’m afraid this one is just too little, too late.
According to reports, this "in the mouth" costume contains 100 times the allowable amount of lead! That’s bound to do some damage.
The story also says that these things have been on the market since January 2006, […]
I’m not sure this even counts as news any more, but given the potentially hazardous nature of these products, these stories bear repeating.
Mattel has announced yet another toy recall this month, this time for Go Diego Go Animal Rescue Boat toys imported by Fisher Price. I believe Diego is part of the popular Dora the […]

What do you think of Southwest’s Ban on Master […]
Everyone thought they were so clever unlocking the iPhone. Apple is turning the tables and threatening to make them unusable in the next software update. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts. ;-)
An Apple software update is disabling iPhones that have been unlocked by owners who wanted to choose which mobile network to use.
Earlier this week […]
This is sort of good news for some people who rushed out to buy new computers with the Vista operating system and discovered, surprise surprise, that it is a dysfunctional piece of sh*t OS that almost makes the old Windows ME look good. I know, I’m one of them.
Unfortunately, the downgrade package is only […]
Yet another development in the Mattel Toy Recall scandal: the company has admitted that many of the products recalled in the most recent announccement were actually not withdrawn due to dangerous errors by the Chinese manufacturers…
Rather, design flaws were to blame.
While Mattel has not admitted exactly what these "design flaws" were, it does seem that […]
And the poisonous products just keep on rolling. Parents, you may want to start checking your kids toys to find ones NOT made in China. Then again, do these things even exist?
I can’t remember a single childhood toy I had that was NOT made in China, that is with the exception of handmade wooden toys… […]
