lead poisoning

Important info on lead poisoning

Posted August 8th, 2007 by Mojo Mom -- Amy...

MomsRising has been on the forefront of the effort to remove lead from kids' toys. Read the MomsRising petition to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Following the latest Mattel/Fisher Price recall this issue is really heating up.

How ironic is it that lead paint is banned, but the toys themselves can be made of lead?

Today's episode of the Diane Rehm Show covered this issue in admirable depth. This show is an absolute must-listen and is available free online from WAMU radio's site, or as a free podcast from iTunes.
