Well, more toys with lead are in the news. However, this time the state of California has filed a lawsuit against 20 companies as a result of the lead scare just to make sure it doesn't happen in the future, or so that's what the lawsuit states. To read more on that, check out the story on the Toy Shop Web site.

However, I'd like to share something with you sent in by Tom McNevin. He writes:

"I stumbled across your toy blog while looking up some issues related to lead.  While there is a lot of hysteria in pursuit of a risk-free society, it's nonetheless true that the more lead is studied, the worse it looks."

He then sent along the following link:

It's an interesting piece and something I should keep in mind when foaming from the mouth about our ultra-safe society. Thanks Tom!
