Big Rex and Friends Cloth Books Test For Lead Paint
204,000 Big Rex and Friends cloth books have been recalled. Marketing giants such as Barnes & Noble, Toys “R” Us, Amazon, Borders and other retailers nationwide have been selling this trash from May 2004 through October 2009. These goodies cost around $9 so I can imagine that they are everywhere in terms of sheer numbers of homes.
This recall is more then a bit disturbing as it shows that products are still getting through our safety nets. Chinese manufactures are not held accountable for anything. I am sure that St. Martin’s Press LLC, of New York, N.Y. did not want this to happen. So who should be held responsible for these toxic IQ / future destroying products? Ultimately children and their parents will forced to carry this burden. Do you think St. Martin’s Press LLC will be pay for all of the ailments that the effects of lead poisoning? Which product gave you child lead poisoning exactly? You see that is a very hard question to answer as lead is cumulative. Can you prove that your child ingested the lead in this product or was it the extension cords or Christmas lights? Which ones failed a paint lead test?
Parents……Only you and your children will be bare this burden. I think its fire and pitchfork time. St. Martin’s Press is only a symptom of the greater problem. Nothing will change until the consequences for poisoning our children are so severe that product manufactures will be afraid to not do the right thing.
“To the person who wrote this disingenuous apology. Damn you and your apology.” |
If the CEO of a toy manufacturer poured poison in my sons juice box he would go to jail for the rest of her life. How is it that that same person, through negligence, produce a product that produces a similar outcome not go to jail?
Open Google and paste in “We apologize for this inconvenience. Big Rex and Friends Cloth Books.” To the person who wrote this disingenuous apology…..Fuck you and your apology. How about…. “We are sorry for the possible lifetime of hurt we have caused. We are sorry for the 4am screaming and crying that we have caused.” Damn you and your products.
