Thanks Newton.

I’ll update the piece above in a bit with this link as there are some good things for the little ones especially.

I bet you will cry..those of us who have been there know the feeling!

I finally found a link to Parenting magazine’s top 10 American-made toys.

Hope this helps!

Oh yeah: Little Fig is close to 11 months old! She is a chatterbox! She even says “gato” (”cat”). She loves to look at books! She’s now learning to stand on her own balance, and she loves to dance to music!

When she reaches the 1 yr birthday, I’m going to cry my heart out!

Nice to hear from you Newton.

It really is sad that parents cannot trust a toy manufacturer to deliver goods safe for their children’s use.

Hope all is well with you and the rest of your family.

That’s it! It’s clothes for the Little Fig this Christmas!

And a Radio Flyer from LL Bean.

I don’t know Big Mo, at the rate we are going will there be anything on the list that will be deemed safe for kids anymore?

This particular “error” is extremely frightening though and I hope the word gets out to those who already have this in their homes.

This actually WAS on the Christmas list until I saw the item pulled in Australia, and I called my wife and said “STOP!”

Good grief. This is lesson #1 in “how to destroy your market.”
