11/25: Lead, Chemicals Found in Toys Despite Stricter Law

Despite a new law that bans six chemicals from children’s products and lowers the lead limit for them, a public interest group has found a number of toys at major retailers that contain the chemicals and illegal amounts of lead.

In a report released Tuesday called “Trouble in Toyland,” the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) found that while many manufacturers and retailers are complying with the new law, a handful are not, and it is hard for consumers to tell the difference.

    Government regulation of businesses in country is socialism. They are taxed excessively, they’re regulated too much. If companies were rewarded for the profits they make, and not regulated to death by the communist nuts, we’d all benefit. Our Constitution guarantees the rights of all of us to run a business without government interference. Let’s throw the bums out and get back to our the Capitalistic country our forfathers envisioned!
