| Toys for GE!!! I went shopping today and did not find one toy that wasnt from CHINA!!!! So how does everyone feel about the toys from China???? What is the story anyway? Is it contaminated unsafe products or child or labor abuse?? Some one fill me in. Also am open to any great toy tips if China is an issue! Thanks |

| I don't have a problem with the toys made in China as long as they are plush. I'm still worried about he lead paint in latex ones (even though those are Slades favorites). Even with the american sellers, most of the materials are made in china.

| I have no problem with plush toys from china, and the hard ones are also fine as long as they don't have paint on them. |

| I could not find any toys at our PetSmart or Petco that was not made in China and who is to say if made in USA that the material is not made in China. I am fine with plush toys from China, but I do not want any laytex toys. Keeping my furbabies away from the latex.

| I knew that there would be the problem of finding things NOT made in China! There are lots of YTer's that are now making toys and I think that most of the plush toys are fine from anywhere (they can be washed by the dogs owner before playing with). I think the big concern was the latex/hard/vinyl toys that are painted, as the paints contained high levels of lead. Don't stress....have fun shopping for your GE Buddy! Just keep the tags on everything and if your GE Buddy needs to, they can return what they prefer not to have.

Exactly...so many things that are even printed made in the USA are either just assembled here, but made elsewhere OR made here with products made in China...it is crazy!!! Not just toys, but anything and everything from car parts to clothing......
