The recall of 7.3 million play sets from China tainted with lead paint is serious. It may or may not be the tip of the iceberg with the majority of toys in the world now made in China which clearly does not have sufficient consumer safeguards in place.

Extreme Health Inc. has updated it's website to provide information on lead and its effects on children. http://www.extremehealthusa.com/lead-paint-exposure.html
