I will shank myself. Seriously.

Oh man. I don't even have words. I have receipts for mine but I really hope this isn't true especially since there have been so many of these sold.

Seriously, though, how many kids are going to be eating these? I think this is just preliminary, so I am not freaking out over it.

That is what one of my gf's was just telling me.

She calmed me down a ton (nothing like the stress of knowing that a) it's one of the 2 things your child really wants and b) having a ton of money invested into them already.

On the bright side, maybe this will make it easier for me to get a second hamster, lol.

I'll worry about it when an official recall is called, or when a company I've heard about does some investigating.

It is a no go in this house. Mia puts everything in her mouth and honestly if they are touching it and that it can transfer. I do not know much about the chemical, but that really stucks that they keep making toys for kids with dangerous chemicals. I hope if it is true the company gets hit with huge fines and not just a slap on the wrist.

I'm hoping it comes out that that company is full of crap, because a ton of Hannah's toys and toys we bought for others are in their top 10 o' dangerous stuff. If not, we may be super effed at Christmas time.

c/p from FB...my POV.

I don't care what their tests found, this REEKS of opportunism on the part of "Good Guide" -- a fledgling "for-benefit" watchdog group. Nothing like getting a bunch of moms fired up over the season's hottest toy to promote yourselves in the process...

And this mom says: Puh-lease... talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing! There's a reason Consumer Reports is a non-profit. If Zhu Zhu's manufacturer comes out clean, I hope they sue the pants off of Good Guide and shut these confused folks down.

Tex, I think what you've found builds a really good case.

I didn't realize they were for profit, or that they were start-ups.

As soon as I saw the list of 10, I was suspicious since 2 of them are huge buys this year (that crazy Bakugan thing made of a zillion smaller bakugans, and the zhu-zhu pets), and that the other was a life long reputable company, and toy - Legos.

And I think they (Cepia, LLC) is being insanely compliant for a company supposedly in cahoots to steal everyones money this year.

I'll be interested in how it plays out. I'm not parting with a damn thing at this point, lmao.

I was thinking that...

 

But since its in the fur too would that not still pose a problem?

I am confused. Is the federal standard more lax? I mean no one has said what level is safe? This whole thing comes up every year and honestly I just wish toy makers would make safe toys and not just produce cheap products that could be harmful.

This whole methodology? I mean how does one come up with a higher level or does it just mean the federal limits allow this amount? Scratch head, maybe I read it incorrectly.
