Toy Recall Survey
Instead of shoppers buying Chinese made toys they would rather pay more for American made toys. People have demanded the absolute lowest prices for items (Including toys), driving the walmarts and Toy ‘r Us’s of the world to leave the United States, and look towards nations who have much cheaper labor pricing, zero oversight and an interest in nationally subsidies to factories. We got exactly what we asked for, the cheapest possible products, made with the cheapest possible parts and ingredients. Why are we then surprised to find out that those cheap trinkets are all dangerous in some way?
Oh, and unless little Johnny or little Suzy has Amish made wood blocks on their holiday wish list, good luck with finding any American made toys.
I keep looking for some quality toys for my 3 grandkids- Jeez- I keep walking out without buying anything- I’m actually afraid to buy anything because everything is made overseas- I give them special one on one time with me and gramps, special outings and adventures and hope they have lifetime memories rather than lead poisoning and broken toys after a day or two. Museums, concerts, circus, fairs- whatever we can find that will stay with them forever.
