Are you avoiding Chinese toys?

After all the recalls from China this year for unsafe levels of lead, some parents are questioning whether they should trust any toys from China. Some are taking steps to avoid them altogether. Mom Dana Deasy of Eastchester told she was motivated to find a solution for her family after she found a recalled Go, Diego, Go toy in her children’s toy collection. “You feel that your playroom is a ticking time bomb,” she told me. Her son, Jason, recently celebrated his first birthday without any toys — friends and relations were asked to bring clothes instead. I wrote about Dana and other parents and grandparents from the Lower Hudson Valley in this story, which appeared in Sunday’s paper. (This picture of Dana with Jason and her other son, Ryan, was taken by my colleague Mark Vergari.) You can see a video with Dana talking about her choice by clicking here. If you’re interested in more on this topic, a good page to bookmark is Consumer Reports safety blog.
