We've talked a little about Chinese toys here. I thought this was interesting...

Thanks ames. It is interesting, but I still won't buy any toys made in china. This year the 5 year old is getting games for his DS, movies and books.

Very interesting Ames. I think what we really need to start doing instead of totally blaming China is holding these companies (some of which are American based) accountable and our government for not making sure that safety standards are not being followed when these products come into this country.

I am not an apologist for the toy industry or for China, nor an official spokesman for either;

Hmmm...the article left out the part about Alan Hassenfeld being the chairman of the board of Hasbro. :icon_rolleyes:

Exactly Toni! Funny how they leave out "little" facts like that.
