All this hype and horror on poisonous lead-filled toys ?
I am in my 40s and now hate to imagine how much deadly paint and poison we ingested as children! ? I realize this is a true danger but some of these items weren’t meant to be put in the mouth to begin with, then people go crazy when a child gets ill or chokes on the tiny item, not meant for the mouth. I had even bought aqua dots for my niece for Christmas, they went back after the federal government recalled and stopped their sale. Anyway, if you were born before 1970 doesn’t it make you wonder how much “poison” we played with?
I wonder the same thing when I hear about the toy recalls. I do know that I did not ingest any paint as a child, I did however paint myself from head to toe with green house paint, at the age of 3 or 4, probably lead based paint back then. in my parents defence my sister was babysitting at the time. How did any of us survive???
