Is it just that I'm newly aware of lead paint issues, or is it that it's a hot new topic for the media, or is it really true that there have been a lot of stories about lead paint contamination and toy recalls lately?
There was Thomas the Tank Engine: nytimes.com
followed by toy jewelry: nytimes.com
then Mattel: nytimes.com/2007/08/15/business/worldbusiness
and now baby bibs: nytimes.com/2007/08/15/business/
I try not to be an overly paranoid person, and obviously I don't go in for China-bashing, but these stories do make me nervous about buying mass-market toys (and apparently other things) for the baby.

Bri,
Take a look at oompa toys (http://www.oompa.com/).
Anna and I have been really impressed with their offerings.
