    Oh no – not Winnie the Pooh! These recalls are getting out of hand. I’m afraid that this is only the beginning and we’re going to see alot more as we get into the Christmas time. I now go to http://www.leadtoyrecalls.com every day to make sure I have the latest news.

    It’s also got guidelines for toy safety and a list of safe lead-free made in USA toys and where to buy them.
