Toxic Toys, chose wisely
The more I read about carcinogens and environmental toxins in food and everyday products, the more diligent I become about removing these poisons from the environment of my family and friends.
Did you know that many children's toys contain lead? Here is a list of toys containing lead that everyone should avoid:
Toy jewelry
Mattel cars (paint contains lead)
Some Thomas The Tank toys (paint contains lead)
Some Baby Einstein blocks
Barbie accessories
To check toys for their toxicity, visit this website:

A tip, buy your toys from US manufacturers and avoid all products made in China. For more information on lead free toys made in the US, check out this link: http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/blogs/american/5291
If you are looking for information on how to make your home safer and your body healthier, check out the website for Healthy Child Healthy World.
