Thanks for the suggestions. I have a one year old (I am a work at home dad) and this is something that I will definitely be checking out. You would think that in this day and age, most suppliers would be compliant with lead laws

Thanks for passing the word along about the lead test swabs Dr.MOZ! They’re a very handy thing to keep on hand, especially when you have kids.

Hi JoAnn,

I’m glad you reminded me about the Thomas recalls. I was about to post a list of recalled Thomas and Friends toys, but our friends at Clever Parents already have a great resource posted on their site.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the lead test suggestion Dr! I new about lead in paint, but who would have guessed that it was in vinyl? If that wasn’t bad enough, now we have to worry about lead on some of the Thomas the Train toys.
