Former Cal. Gov. Jerry Brown suing lead paint toy makers, thumbs up?
Time somebody makes them act right. It’s one thing to ship jobs out of the country and then make banner profits and also use stuff that can harm us and I am all for it.
Absolutely. I don’t care if Mattell goes out of business. It serves them right for sending those jobs to Communist/Slave Labor China.
Lead Paint On Toys

Is food cooking on painted cookware (imitate non-stick pan) dangerous as toys with lead paint?
As long as lead paint wasn’t used, it’s perfectly safe.
Is the manufacturer a reputable one? If so, they would verify quality and would issue a recall if there was any found to have lead paint in them, which would typically occur within a matter of weeks at the most.
The biggest thing to remember is that only 1-2 manufacturers were responsible for the contaminated toys…. they were small companies that stood to gain a lot of money and found it worth it commit the crime (against the law and against other people).
Any larger company would stand to lose most or all of their business if they knowingly contaminated any of their products and lead paint is something you’d have to go really out of your way to contaminate something with.

Toy Recall: What is contaminated with lead paint?
9,500,000 toys in the United States and 11 million in foreign countries were recalled.
Lead is used to make the paint last longer. The amount of lead in paint was reduced further reduced in 1950 and again in 1978. Houses built before 1950 is likely to contain lead paint while houses built after 1950 will have less lead in the paint. House Painting sold today have very low levels of lead. lead-based paint is the most common source of poisoning in children lead.

Website toys and lead paint …?
My mother-in-law bought some old toys for my baby to an auction. They are very good toys, but I'm worried about the possibility of lead paint, because they are very old. Is there a site or somewhere I can look at the toys to see if they have been removed or something?
The fastest / easiest way to test toys is to use a product called "Check lead." Son small white tubes which provide a chemical (sodium rodizinate) to the surface. If Leach-able to bring a change of color (Black or red). This means that should not be used. TIP: They cost about $ 3.00 each, but! (Check Lead me by teaching hate this) … He is 5-7 drops in each tube. If you use a clean cotton swab and dry each section, you can eat between 5-7 trials. For more information, please read http://home.mindspring.com/ wrltc ~ / lswp.pdf A book I've written for parents doing remodeling or having done so. Was paid by a state subsidy fed /. This means that his book is much like mine. Education on this topic is my job.

What is going on with all the recalls of toys Made in China?
In the past year more and more toys are being recalled because of lead paint and now AquaDots have GHB in them?? I’m terrified to buy presents for my kids this Christmas because everything is Made in China it seems.
I am with you on that one. I guess we really need to read the labels. I am curious to see how it effects the sale of toys this year.

Sesame Street toy telephone with lead paint?
I read in a magazine that certain Sesame Street toys had been recalled because of lead in the paint. We have the Sesame Street phone that was on the list. We removed it. Now what do we do? Do we take it to the store we bought it? Has anyone been through this? Is it worth the effort or should we just throw it out? Thanks so much!
You can go online and send it in for a replacement or you can take it to toys’r'us and do an instant in-store exchange for a new toy. I’ve had bad luck with those mail in rebates since they take so long, so I find in-store exchanges for a new toy work much better.
I’m getting very tired of all the recalls lately. When you buy a new toy for your child, check where it was made. I wouldn’t buy any toys made in China til 2008, just to be safe. It seems like more things are being recalled every day.

Lead Paint On Toys Recalls

How do you test for lead paint on toys?
Target recently recalled several toys because they have lead paint. One of the sets is a dinosaur set but not the set I bought my son. I am not sure I trust them when they say his dinosaurs are safe. I want to remove the Target dinosaurs from his herd but he has so many I no longer know which ones came from Target. They cannot tell me how to distinguish their dinosaurs or even how many were in the pack I bought. So I was wondering if there was an easy at home way to test all of his dinosaurs for lead. Any suggestions?
lead paint in fact tastes sweet to children this is why they continue to eat it once they have tried it. there are simple test kits on the market to get an idea of the presence of lead paint in toys.

Lead Paint Baby Cribs

Sep
Several Brands of Baby Cribs Recalled Due to Entrapment, Strangulation, Suffocation and Falls
The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a number of baby crib recalls over the last few years. The number of manufacturers and models is rather shocking considering that the hazards are similar, and continue to show up even though they have been pointed out repeatedly in previous recalls.
In the table below there are comments taken from the CPSC recall notices that indicate the types of hazards that were found and reason for recall. While not all hazards caused incidents or injuries, the potential for an accident is sufficient to require the manufacturer either provide a repair, replacement, or refund. Also, not all models of cribs by any one manufacturer are necessarily involved in these recalls. If you suspect that your crib may be defective, contact the manufacturer to see if it has been recalled, or if there have been other complaints about the same model.
If you own one of these cribs, you should immediately make other sleeping arrangements for your child and seek the remedy recommended. For more information about crib recalls please visit the website of Schlichter, Bogard & Denton, experienced consumer product liability attorneys.

Call Your Potential Partners To Increase Lead Conversion Ratio
Calling your potential partner is a CRITICAL part of the process. Get this part and you will more than double your lead conversion ratio.
Why do I Say Potential Partner vs Prospect?
Calling people prospects implies your prospective partners are just another means for you to use to achieve your objectives. People will pick up on this even though you might not be aware of of it.
Your words are the extension of your thoughts and they create an energy you carry with you and that people intuitively tune into. If you want to create relationships with potential partners, then what you say matters.
Keep in Mind when Calling
One vital point to keep in mind when calling your potential partner (lead) is:
Do Not Pitch Your MLM Business Opportunity
The point of all this is to provide your leads with incredible content — and that’s it. Do this properly and you will build trust and a solid relationship with your potential partners because you are not just another salesman trying to make a sale.
You will also be able to weed out the tire kickers. You want to only spend time with people who are serious about building their business.
When your potential partners see how much value you hold and how much value is behind the curtain of your marketing system, and in fact that they are tired of struggling using marketing methods that does not work, you will generate sign-ups.
Remember, they responded to your website and requested your help, not the other way around.
The Initial Contact
-
Use Your Potential Partner’s Name Often.
The sweetest sound to a human being’s ear is the sound of their own name.
Start the conversation by saying:
Hello (prospect’s first name), this is (your first name) and I am getting back to you. You had requested some information from my website about how to successfully build a home base business.
(Prospect first name), I am calling to see how things are going for you in your MLM company and see if there is anything I can do to help.
What you want to do is to get your prospective partner to talk about them. Find out where they are on their journey.
Start asking question, such as:
- So (Prospect), do you have any experience in the network marketing industry?
- How long have you been in the industry?
- What business are you promoting?
- How have your results been up to this point?
Again, use their name often and do not pitch your business.
-
Keep Initial Contact to 5 – 10 Minutes Maximum
You are a successful business owner and your time is extremely valuable. Even if you feel a connection with your lead after 10 minutes, say something like…
“I would love to hear more about your experience, however, I am in the process of calling potential partners that has requested my help. Why not go back to (your lead capture domain), review the website and get a better feel of what we do here. You can call me with any additional questions.
Also, be sure to look out for some webinar invitations from me on a weekly basis. We provide the best marketing training on the plant from 7-figure master marketer. It was a pleasure meeting you and I’ll see you on the inside.”
The Follow-up Call
You must paint a picture for your potential partner. Find out what it is that is hurting them the most…
- Is it the fact that they have run out of people to talk to?
- Are they tired of using replicated websites that simply Do Not Work?
- Are they tired of struggling to generate leads?
- Do they hate their primary company?
Who knows, you might get a sign up in your primary right on the spot.
Either way, whatever is the most painful detail of their business, you must be able to paint a picture and provide the solution their #1 problem.
Really listen to what they’re saying and focus… NO DISTRACTIONS. Over time you will learn to hear not just what they are saying, but what they are feeling.
When you paint that beautiful picture for your potential partner and you show that you are the solution to all of his/her problems, that you hold the key to the kingdom, here’s what will happen…
- you just gained a new friendship
- a sign up in your marketing system
- a great shot at some serious affiliate commissions, and
- a soon-to-be distributor in your MLM business.
This is where the critical part of painting the picture comes in. Be sure to inspire them.
It’s really that Simple!
How to Answer Some of Your Lead’s Questions
Your potential partner will also be sizing you up and may have a few questions of their own. Here are examples on how to answer some of those questions.
Q: What is your primary business?
A: Go ahead and tell them. This is your opportunity to talk about your primary because they asked. Just remember, do not pitch your business.
However, if you do not have a primary, let them know that right now your marketing system is your primary business and that you are in the research phase of choosing a primary MLM company.
Q: How many people do you have in your downline and how successful are they?
A: You cannot compare your potential success by how others are progressing. Everyone is different depending on their level of commitment to their business.
Q: How many leads are you generating and what is the conversion rate of those leads?
A: Again, you cannot compare how many leads you will produce by how many leads others are generating and converting. Ultimately, you will need to call your potential partners to produce a higher conversion rate.
Stay in control of the conversation. Show your potential partner that you are a leader and can show them the way to success.
Become an expert in this process and your potential partners will learn how to know, like and trust you and you will get people to ask about your primary mlm company with credit card in hand ready to join whatever you tell them to.
Welcome to the Big Leagues. Now start calling your potential partners!
