These metal water bottles are being recalled because of excessive lead paint on the surface. It just sickens me how often this is happening. It’s gotten to where I am afraid to buy pretty much anything for my children. I’m now sticking to mostly handmade, natural toys and toys from super reputable companies who don’t manufacture in China. And I never, ever buy stuff from the dollar store anymore.
Here’s a list of things to avoid because of frequent recalls:
- plastic toys
- all toy jewelry!
- anything with metallic paint, including toys and clothing
- notebooks/journals with painted metal spiral binding
- toys manufactured before 1978
- wood and metal rakes/shovels/spades for children–so many have been recalled!
That’s just for starters.
