Can someone post a picture of the green monster? I threw all of our rubber toys away last week so of course i have NO PROOF!

Erin · 09-18-2007, 05:38 AM

Nevermind I found a picture. I think it is the same line as the yellow alien we had. I would NEVER buy a toy at Walmart but of course someone gave it to him as a gift and he loved it. I should have known better, but it was just a stupid yellow squeaky toy! And of course it was Loki's favorite thing to chew on when he was teething.

Kelz · 09-18-2007, 05:40 AM

OMG!!!! we have that!!! it's usually just the boxer that plays with it tho..it's going in the TRASH when i get home!

So are all toys from china going to be recalled including plush ones?? we really don't have any rubber ones..

La Princesa · 09-18-2007, 06:17 AM

I became weary of things made in china the minute all these recalls came up. We already know that outsourcing production to other countries is a problem, especially when it comes to paying high prices for low quality stuff and when the quality of the product is excellent there comes the problem of the working earning pennies on the dollar.

Companies usually outsource because a the wages expense can my cut down dramatically or they can dodge strict quality control laws place in the U. S or both.

I always try to make sure i buy products made in the USA when i can for those reason. All it takes its a little time to check the label.

Even in here, Yes you can get some of the products offered at a cheap price but its really nice to know that your product was made with love and care and safety, let alone you get pampered with excellent customer service.

Buying what you can locally will not only boost the economy but boost the economy by allowing us produce more here , it gives up the opportunity to actually export that good quality stuff rather than importing the crap we get knowing its flawed cause someone turned a blind eye to quality.

who needs the extra worry

blondflava · 09-18-2007, 06:23 AM

wow that's crazy. I never buy latex/rubber toys because Pepper hates them anyway - only plush ones. If I had any, I'd get rid of them instantly!!

TinyBit · 09-18-2007, 06:47 AM

Wow, we're lucky .... I had not bought any of those yet. I'd hate to take away thier toys.

Yes I am sure it is since it is made from the same company. I have that one too and threw it away yesterday with the others.

lara2913 · 09-18-2007, 07:03 AM

I've decided to just throw everything that says made in china away, its only a matter of time before it comes here.

lara2913 · 09-18-2007, 07:06 AM

Quick question, what are the rest of you doing about the ones that don't say where they were made?

Sophie'smom · 09-18-2007, 07:16 AM

Thank you for posting this. Sophie has the green monster and a purple one. I have even posted pics of her playing with it. I am going to throw them both away.

KELLYLYNN · 09-18-2007, 07:24 AM

i said this before on YT, i threw everything away for my baby and furbabies that were made in China,,,,, throw them all away,, only buy from the US. it's hard the more i've been looking at items, it's almost like everything comes from China, i swear there trying to kill us .....

lara2913 · 09-18-2007, 07:42 AM

I just spoke to my friend Ryan O'Meara who is the editor and cheif of K9 magazine, he says that on the advise of his contact its best to throw away all toys made in china.

SevenGirl · 09-18-2007, 07:47 AM

Thanks for the heads up. We don't have any of those toys, but I will be extra careful to be sure nothing I buy for her is coming from China. Scary!
