Ack. A serious dilemma for this here Worried Dad and several of his co-conspirators in the world of guerrilla parenting.
Here's the short of it:
* America want cheap junk from China.
* China complies, but slaps extra lead on every kind of book, toy, lunchbox, and article of clothing to help keep costs down.
* Americans freak out (including your humble blogger here).
* American Congress passes sweeping anti-lead law. Now every store, vendor, producer, etc. of children's anything must prove that their products are lead free.
* Worried Dad then walks into favorite Goodwill store and discovers that all children's clothing and toys are gone, baby, gone.
* Worried Dad ponders global economic apocalypse and wonders if kids today really need all those extra IQ points after all...
