Hey Dina....I think the main scare was the toys that are painted (because the paint contained high amounts of lead). So, rubber/vinyl/latex toys from China are probably not very safe...and best to stay away from.

I know most dogs (well, mine anyway) will NOT touch a latex/rubber toy..I don't know if it is the smell/taste of the rubber or what.

I think most of us here had all agreed that the plush toys were fine....and of course, it is always best to wash them first before play...I remember that discussion prior to the GE this go around.

I know, personally, we are fine w/ plush toys from China....shoot, you can not stay away from things made in China and if you tried, it would be hard to find many places that made toys from somewhere else.

I do know that there is some place in Montana (I think) that makes dog toys made in the USA, but I can't remember that link.....

Petedge and dog.com does have the best prices around for toys...and we too get lots of plush toys from them!
