Just recently the Governor of Washington State signed the toy safety bill. This bill was enacted to safeguard our children's health. The bill specifically bans toys manufactured with high level of lead, cadmium and pthalate. These chemicals can pose harmful effects to our kids. It can cause diseases, birth defects and brain damage. The bill aims to regulate the chemicals in toys. It also requires manufacturers to notify the state if the toys have a high level of chemicals.

As a Mom I am amenable to it. We are buying the toys and other learning aids for our children and i is scary that what we thought can help in their development will cause them harm instead. We heard of a lot of recalls because of high harmful chemical contents. That can hurt business because its already in the market. So with the regulation, at least the manufacturers can already expect what to do when making these toys.

I agree Bless, it is very unsettling with all the toy recalls. I am still worried when buying toys for my kids specially if they were from China. :(

Definitely Maybe!
