Alright. Time for some personal comments here!
How long are we going to allow the government to continue in this distructive manner?!! I just received the latest "Top 10 Toxic Toys"..... please read this carefully and don't tell me you aren't as angry as I am right now!
Lovely little dinner party set - remember moms, how we used to enjoy playing with these? Set up the tea party and invite all of our animals friends? So let's give our own daughters this same wonderful experience, shall we?! Try this lovely TOXIC LEAD Dinner Party set, made in China, distributed by Almart...... only 12,635 ppm on the small painted side of the ceramic kettle! (remember American Academy of Pediatrics recommended allowance is 40 ppm; federal recall allowance is 600 ppm).
Ask your daughter's friends over for a tea party so they can sip on the tiny tea cups with only 3,740 ppm of lead going directly to their innocent mouths!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THESE PRODUCTS ARE GETTING PUT ON STORE SHELVES???? 
Who is asleep at the wheel?!
It is seriously way past time for every single parent to stand up and take action
on behalf of our children! Someone has to do it, we ALL have to do it. 
Have you started to advocate for safe toys yet? If not, why not?! 
Who else can we count on to stop this insanity??
Lovely little "Dinner Party"? 
Anyone letting their precious children play with this chemical that
isn't even on the recall list yet?
