  1. I saw a news story on this a few years back when I had Eryn. This is incredibly important to look out for, recognizing the potential dangers that lead poisining poses to the devlopment of children. Parents should also be mindful when purchasing dinnerware, as some of the materials used contain dangerous levels of lead that are released when certain foods are consumed from them, i.e tomatoe products.

  2. It is very important to be aware of potential dangers in the toys we buy for our children. This has been going on for many, many years: I remember buying a book about unsafe toys 24 years ago when my oldest was a baby. We didn't focus too much on lead in toys: back then, it was small parts that can cause choking and impure water in baby teethers. THIS is why I sell Discovery Toys. For over 25 years, these toys have been safe, educational and fun for little ones. Too many wonderful things about them to list here! Talk to me if you'd like details.
