Does anyone know how we can find out if toys are made in China?  I went last night and looked at some things for my grandaughter.  You would think the boxes would say where they were made.  Most did not.  The Fischer Price Dora Etch a Sketch didn't say, neither did some Barbie things.  Does anyone know how we can find out?  I have Goggled trying to find lists of toys made in china or those that contain lead that could be still out there.  I couldn't find a current listing.  Tis the season for buying this stuff.  BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP.

As a grand parent, and having grown up chewing on lead paint on cribs, toys, etc. I think this is a bunch of crap directed at the Chinese who are out distancing themselves on technology, producitivity, and inguinuity than the USA and this is the only way we know to react.
We are so indebted to China because of borrowing money from China to fund our war and frivolities in Iraq.

I thought that the manufacture had to lable the product where it was made. Normally on the bottom of the item, imprinted in the plastic it is made of.

I am always surprised when I pick up a item and it is made in the USA! Go USA.

I have to agree with NervousWill on this one. Look back at the people growing up in the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Out of that period of lead paint use have emerge great scientists, doctors, designers, teachers, etc. Like Will, they grew up chewing on their cribs, toys and windowsills. I can’t deny that an abundance of lead paint introduced into one’s system can be harmful, but I think the medical community has overreacted on the lead paint issue as they have on so many other things. An outstanding example is DDT. More recent studies show that the earlier research that forced DDT off the market was flawed, and that more recently developed insecticides and pesticides are far more harmful to our environment and to us.

If we didn’t have all the regulations and regulatory agencies dictating to American manufactures we might be able to better compete with foreign labor and production cost. However, our government is only one part of this equation — civil law attorneys and irresponsible Americans are the other.

Nervouswill&Jordan, you might consider that in those years alot of parents made toys for their children. Parents also didn't think their children needed every thing they wanted. Take a look at other countries and maybe you might see that the USA isn't such a bad place to live.
