The fear mongering on this subject has gotten WAY out of control. Do you know what "split shot" are? They are solid lead fishing weights that are shaped like small balls and have a slit going halfway through them. You attach them to the fishing line by clamping them onto the line, which is inserted into the slot. Do you know the most common way for clamping them down, the way I employeed my entire childhood life? Biting them! That's right and I am a-okay and perfectly healthy at age 37 today. A miniscule amount of lead in the paint on a toy to make it shinier is not a danger. Tell your kid not to swallow the toy. All of this came about because a few kids (obviously not the brightest crayons in the box in the first place) ate old, lead based paint that was chipping away from window sills and got sick. Ate, mind you. Swallowed. Perhaps you want to keep small children from having toys that they will chew on that contain lead if you are really paranoid, but once a kid is old enough for jewelry, I doubt that ingestion of the jewelry will be the first thing on their mind and handling lead is never going to hurt anyone.

We are an independant, consumer information website dedicated to ALL recalls, WORLDWIDE !
The last year has seen a huge increase in the number of deadly product recalls!
Spinach, Dog Food, Childrens Toys all get major headlines...But there are problems...
To them we say ''If only 1 recall affected your family THIS YEAR, would it be worth knowing about it??? And quickly???''
KEEP AWARE...KEEP SAFE...

I think I will just live on the wild side and not work myself into an ulcer worrying about any of it. Mmmm, spinach good! You had a better chance of winning 5 lotteries than having your dog die from the dog food. Today, I think I will drink expired milk and eat a dented can of expired Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Yum.
