Ban Paint Lead Federal Violating Penalty Civil Million Pay Fisher-Price Mattel

I can not believe that fisher price has been using lead based paint on the toys they have sold to little children in the USA and abroad. I hope that they have seen the errors in their ways and make sure that all paint is free of lead.

I can't believe these billion dollar companies are still allowing lead paint to be used in their toys. People have known for many years that lead paint is dangerous. I wonder how many people have been poisoned from these toys and aren't even aware. I remember chewing on my Barbies' legs when I was a young child. I wonder if I ingested poisons this way. These companies importing products and materials from overseas should investigate and be sure of what exactly they are using in their toys.
