find anything in your easter egg hunt?
CNN Money apparently did. Just be glad that you or your child didn’t find one of these.
Yet another China products safety article, this time focusing on camouflaged eggs and spinning egg top toys. Right in time for Easter. The very brief article entitled “Easter egg toys recalled” states:
About 13,000 camouflage eggs and spinning egg top toys, imported by Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and made in China, because the paint on the toys contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by children.
No injuries or incidents have been reported. The recalled products include the Camouflage Easter Egg Treat Containers, with the item No. 1031, and the Easter Spinning Egg Tops, with the item No. 1054.
They were sold at Hobby Lobby Stores nationwide from January 2008 through this month.

Just another reminder that periodict and/or constant QC and follow up, coupled with due diligence, are your best friends to avoid embarassment, civil liability, or even worse, criminal liability.
Happy Easter everyone!
