Do you expect anything less coming from China?

Sadly to say MANY American pharmasuticals are now made in China, Do you trust them? I don't. And the US Government isn't calling this Domestic Terrorism, Sure seams like it is to me. Sure seems like an easy way for the Chinese to take over. Just poisen us Americans, take our jobs away, and you now have all of America conquered.

Yes, this is just another in a long line of recalled items with lead from China.   >:(  Time means nothing to them...just slowly poison them and hopefully they won't notice.  Also, watch out not just for pharmaceuticals...many dental prostheses are also made in China and contain lead.

I'm SO weird about the things I get for my son.  It seems there are so many items being recalled.... all the way down to bottles. >:(

No kidding.  I threw out a ton of sippy cups a while ago.  And they were Gerber, for heavens sake.  Gerber!!!!  But that was for poisonous plastic, not lead.

The whole BPA thing...  yeah.  Although they have recently come out and said there shouldn't be any need to worry too much about it and they aren't exposed to enough to harm them...  I still double check they aren't labeled with a 7 on the bottom...  If I can avoid it at all, I will.

And we wonder why we have so many hormones in the water that affect everything. Like cross gender fish and frogs. Not to worry about all the mercury, better also start worrying about all the other things in the water you drink, the food you eat, the clothing you wear, the things you touch. everything. Then add in all the stuff made over seas.

Even organic is not 100% organic as the rain which falls on it also has chemicals in it.

That settles it, I'm going nude and not eating anything anymore  :o

Why do you think my 13 year old daughter looks like she is 18???? Those wonderful hormones in Chicken and Beef to make the chickens and cows grow fatter faster.  Well, they also help a child develop much faster...  Thanks alot corporate america, you have just brought me MORE gray hairs... like I needed them.

Not just China, blame it on the US for importing all this Sh!t, and giving away our jobs.  Its all planned. 

Its time to wake up people. 

As for that bed, what the hell is a 22 month old sleeping in that bed anyway?  Stupid parents, should still be in a crib.

My son could climb out of his crib by 22 months.  We put him in a twin bed rather than have him fall on his head.  The top of the mattress was considerably closer to the ground than the top of the rail on his crib.

I think a bed that fancy is sort of too much for a two-year-old, but the problem wasn't the bed itself but the toy box at the foot.  Toy box lids are supposed have hinges that hold the lid open at any angle, to prevent the lid from closing unexpectedly and trapping a child's head.  This toy box was made with the wrong type of hinges, the parents didn't think to check (because if it's made for a kid then it should be safe, right?) and a little boy lost his life.

While I'm sure the boys parents will spend the rest of their lives blaming themselves, they didn't really do anything all that stupid.
