SS-2: I think most of us are aware of the fact that the US returned 9 million toys ( costing billions of dollars) back to China because of having lead-paintings on them and having little magnets both of which are dangerous to the kids. Many more are going to be returned. That means it is a kind of big loss to the companies which make these toys. More serious thing is- how are the health conditions of the kids who have already played with these kinds of toys? Here are some more questions: (1) Why did the US distributors let those toys enter the US without testing properly? (2) Now the toys that were returned will be dumped or will be sold to the third world countries where people are less aware of this fact? (3) The big companies and the distributors are so bold enough to do this kind of things even in the USA and other developed countries, what can't they do in the underdeveloped countries where people are not enough educated and aware of this kind of things? ( 4) Does our country have any system to test this kind of things which are really concerned to our health and day to day life?
