Well I have checked the recall list of lead items and so far we were in the clear. My biggest fear is that we will receive many gifts that may contain lead. I have also read that, its not only toys that may be contaminated. But how do we know? Well for starters opt not to buy things that are made in CHINA. I wanted to get Miles some Christmas/Winter dishes w/ Santa or penguins on them and I checked .... yup from CHINA! I found them at CVS and Target. I will keep updating this list and if you have found any new info email me or post a comment and I will add it to the blog and pass it on as well!
Here is what I found,

I am going to give DJ his very own Tupperware for toys and Wooden Spoons as Drum Sticks. The toy recalls scare me!
We buy a lot of hand made by WAHM's, I knit some toys, wooden toys like Haba and Alex, Brio for trains.
We only had two items from the recalls (both last minute purchases) and I tell you it freaks you out. I have been told Consumer Reports has an even more intensive list.
