With the holiday season around the corner, some of you may have started your holiday shopping. On my drive home yesterday I heard a report on 680 news that said the following:
"According to a California-based advocacy group, some children's toys carrying the Barbie and Disney logos have high levels of lead.
The Centre for Environmental Health tested about 250 products bought at major retailers and it found that in seven of the toys, levels of lead exceeded federal limits.
They include: a Barbie bike flair accessory kit, a Disney Tinkerbell water lily necklace and a Dora the Explorer activity tote.
Studies have found lead can cause irreversible brain damage in young children".
I know this may be time consuming but before purchasing your gifts this year, I recommend that you google each toy first to ensure that it is safe and meets all safety regulations.

Be safe,
Karen
