In pursuit of a Muse

Is playing with Elmo from Sesame Street safe?
In my recent blog
regarding a Greener Apple, never would have it crossed my mind that
even an established and trusted company such as mattel
would also be a hazard to our child’s health. But in fairness to
mattel, they quickly made recalls from some of their hazardous products
made by their contractors from China(complete list of recalled products).
The toys containing-approved paint pigment with lead has long been
banned in the market for a long time and to such surprise went under
the eyes of the company. Recalling their products may be a
kiss-of-death to mattel, however we should also praise their dedication
to their costumers. On the other hand, I still feel that mattel should
do more than just recalling their products, better yet replace the ones
they sold with a safer product, if your child is still willing to part
ways with the original toy. For the full text from mattel click here.Is playing with Elmo from Sesame Street safe?
