I wonder how often toys like these start out fine, but then a different part of the company is charged with actually producing the toy then price becomes king and they don't always know how the toy is produced. Especially when it is places overseas, an initial few runs may have been fine, but if the chinese producer can get away with shaving a few cents off their costs and the buyer doesn't notice, what do they care. Similar to the pet food taint from earlier this year - the chinese producers were putting crap in to jack up the protein content and even after a recall was issued it took scientists weeks to figure out what had gone wrong. I worry that this happens more than we may know.

I wonder if the workers using the lead paint know of the dangers.
