unexpected benefits

Mattel recall

Well, now I get to feel terribly smug about the fact that I am penny-pinching unfair mother. By refusing to buy my kids any branded toys, anything to do with Barbie or such revolting concepts, or anything that is "in vogue" this year, (well OK, I don't buy them any toys - they have waaaaay too much stuff), I have no worries about lead poisoning. Unlike everyone else in the western world apparntly.
