    Pet Toy Dangers

    The ongoing worry over kids toys made in China is now spreading to pets. A month-long Fox News Chicago Investigation has found levels of lead in dog toys well beyond acceptable limits. Watch the video here.

    But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window." -- Steve Bluestone

    Thank You!!

    I was just thinking about this today! They were showing a lead testing kit on Rachel Ray this morning and I started thinking about my Kids' toys.. I am tempted to purchase a lead kit and see. Our three are such big chewers, every toy ends up in bits.. and I usually find some 'leftovers' in the backyard, so I know that some are being ingested.. Scary.

    I find it so amazing that lead is still used in products today. Thanks again for posting! Interesting Video!

    I was about to buy those tennis balls at the Dollar Store the other day. WOW. I'll just stick to picking loose balls off the local tennis court now

    Thank you so much for posting this! I'm so surprised at what was dangerous. I bought one of those tennis balls for Macie when she was a puppy! It's lost now... but still...it's scary! I'm definitely going to check up more the toys that I buy, because Macie is a chewer, too. Thanks !
