Wow, that's insane!! No more latex or rubber toys for us too...Zoe's fav is that red soccer ball from Petco

ladybugg74 · 09-18-2007, 01:25 PM

We don't let our girls play with the rubber toys so they don't have any. We have
1.wubba toy
2. small stuffed elephant,rhino and giraffee from Walmart
3. lobster, octopus and whale from Target
4. Hide a squirrel,
5. small leapard stuffed bones from PetSMart
6. Pink stuffed dog with squeaker and crinkle legs from PetSmart

They have a plush soccer ball. I bought an extra and just pulled it out and it is made in china. Taking it back to the store. I still have the tags on it. GEEZZZ!

Just checked out their toys for Halloween and thank goodness they are made in the US.

They also have some other stuffed toys from PetEdge..I think I am just tossing them out anyway.

We cut all tags from toys because they chew on the tags and we are afraid they will come off and they will choke on them. No more toys from China in our home.
This is just crazy.

My baby has this toy. I just threw it in the trash!

estes7 · 09-18-2007, 03:03 PM

OH NO!!!! Green monster is our favorite toy ever!!! The boys play tug of war with it and hide it from each other all the time. I guess they won't anymore.

I'm thinking the plush toys are OK. At least the loofa and the higher end ones. The Zanies ones never seem to last very long anyway so those aren't a huge sacrifice. All of these issues have to do with paint.

Seems like we are just being killed off slowly by different countries. Do they use this stuff in their own countries?

Amber_lv · 09-18-2007, 04:43 PM

the problem is with the paint... no paint... no problem!

I am outraged at this! I have just bought Lily this exact toy. It has been one of her favorites.

Should I be worried? Should I take her to the vet?
I am just so angry at this right now,I don't know what to say.
Thank you so much for passing this information along.

i was worried too because Layla Also LOVES this one! but look at the toy... did she eat any of it??? is there a lot of paint missing??? if you can say no to both i'd say chances are it's ok... if there is a lot of paint missing you might want to call your vet and see what he/she thinks. just watch her... make sure she is eating and drinking ok... acting normally!

Ughhh.. Anything that has to do with lead poisoning annoys me.. I mean they are recalling all these toys for a good reason but havent you ever thought there are other ways of getting it that hit closer to home?

Just a warning and I know this because it happened to me twice.. You CAN get lead poisoning if you drink tap water.. If you live in a newer house or have had you water pipe going into the house replaced then you are fine but like my house we have a lead pipe!.. I got lead poisoning twice when I was younger.. The city wouldn't let US replace it.. It was on our property but it was their responsibility.. SO we could either wait for them to get around to it.. or pay 900 to get it done by them now.. Well guess what that was 10+ years ago I am fifteen and it still hasnt been done.. They ran out of funds and wouldn't let my grandfathers plumbing company do it.. So everyone check to make sure you dont have a lead pipe!

DoubleYorkie · 09-18-2007, 05:18 PM

I do not know if we are safe with USA made things - many of them made out of materials imported from China. I give up.

Plush toys maybe toxic also. I sew a lot and some fabrics stain hands and my sewing machine. I have to wash them before sewing but who will do that at a factory? They just use it. And where is guarantee that washing makes it safe? Oh my

Anyway I will wash all my furbaby's toys right now!

Ange · 09-18-2007, 05:31 PM

I can't see where shes ate any of it or theres any paint missing,so she sould be ok. I am keeping the toy( well out of Lilys reach of course ), as well as printing out the lead/toxins info. and going to my local wal mart tomorrow to see if they are still selling these and inform them of what I have found out.

Baby Blessing · 09-18-2007, 07:45 PM

Our girls favorite toys,
give em my t shirt after I take it off, I tie it in a knot, DollieDae will work on it till she gets it untied, a long time

tie my socks together and throw them to Baby Blessing and she does the same thing. Also give em Jack's t shirt and socks and they have a great time untying them, never do they destroy our things, think it is our scent that keeps them happy

I also make their soft toys so they are only stuffed with cotton fabric, so far they haven't tore them up and they play with them for hours at a time. I watch for the department stores sales on infant small stuffed toys, are made in the states.
