are you kidding me??

I’ve been researching toys lately. Scratching your head? Maybe. Sounds enthralling right? You bet. Do I have other things I could be doing? Sure. Are those other things more important? Not so sure about that one anymore. About a year ago, I bought a Fisher Price doctor’s kit to play with shortly before Caleb’s two year well kiddo check up. I figured maybe it would help make him a little more comfortable with seeing the doctor. He hasn’t played with it too much. Thankfully. Because take a look at the frightening test results.

Polyvinyl chloride, chromium, tin, Lead, Mercury, ARSENIC! This is my child’s toy! I was floored. Downright terrifying bath toys and teethers with lead content.

Changes are in order here. The more I think about it, the sicker it makes me. Go ahead and prepare yourself for an earful about toys this week.

Need to learn more about your child’s toys? There are several ways to search and explore the database of toys tested so far. You can nominate toys to be tested as well.

    I know this toy thing is INSANE!! At Ashie’s last check up I made them test both kids to be clear.
