Toy Recall

[Monkey Wrench]

Just caught this on the news tonight, thought I'd share since I know many of us have young ones running around:

Seems pieces of the Thomas the Tank Engine that were manufactured in China were painted with red lead paint! I know when my son had a few of those when he was younger, those things were in his mouth from time-to-time!

Dude, stop with the cover up! Everyone knows you have the pictures in the picture frames that come with them and say they are your family! You're a hermit and live in a hole in the ground and you play with toy train stuff! Just like that Sweetdiesel guy.

Since Sweetdiesel's wife just had the baby I'd say he was playing with someone else....

Thanks to all the lead I got to chew on when I was a kid, I've still got a good buzz going.
Where can I get some of those red pieces.

Contact our El Presidente, Fidel or Iran may be able to help you out there.
All Nuklear, Nukelier, Nuk (sp) poop... radioactive! Way better than lead!!

The concern seems real, a lot of stuff produced in china seems to contain some bad stuff
