Mattel Fisher/Price has recalled million of toys that have been found to contain lead.

You should test all your children's toys using Lead Test Kits.

Soft vinyl plastic (PVC - poly vinyl chloride or painted) toys could be sucked or chewed on by a very young child for prolonged periods of time on a daily basis, hereby exposing the child to surface lead, if any.

Lead is very poisonous to human beings. Even tiny amounts of it in our blood, measured in millionths of grams (micrograms) can harm our health.

Children absorb more lead than adults and are at higher health risk.

The international standard (European Standard EN-71) is a limit of 90 ppm releasable lead in children's toys. Any level above this is considered dangerous!

More than 1,000,000 American children may have blood lead levels needing medical attention, and more than one million children may be somewhat mentally or emotionally impaired by lead exposure.

Acute lead poisoning is less common now than before lead's toxicity was known. Nevertheless, with higher environmental lead levels, subtle health effects from small doses are being detected. Children risk premature birth, smaller stature, and lower mental development, and adult men may have higher blood pressure.

Get your Lead Test Kits and keep your kids safe.
