View Full Version : Wal-Mart Recalls Lead-Containing Baby Bibs Luckylove 05-02-2007, 04:00 PM http://www.ktvu.com/family/13245874/detail.html Kellie_MO5 05-02-2007, 04:35 PM OMGosh :cuss , really, why the hell wouldn't these be tested BEFORE going out to be sold? What part of lead = bad do some companies just not get??? Bugs the crap out of me... grrrrr :soapbox Lorah 05-02-2007, 05:03 PM Good to know....I can't believe this wasn't caught BEFORE being shipped out. Someone should post this in the recalls thread too!!! Or maybe we should move this one over there??? Not sure, just thought I would put that out there. My3sonsplus1 05-02-2007, 07:57 PM The way I read it it is to be expected that vinyl bibs would/could contain some lead (as a stabilizer and to make them softer) and that these just have "too much" ***""It's a PVC product," Ziegler said. "The lead in that product makes the vinyl softer." and "Lead, used as a stabilizer in vinyl plastic, can be "easily substituted" for other products, Engelman said. She said the bibs' manufacturing tags show they were made in China."*** And that is why we use cloth bibs when we use bibs at all. I like to avoid plastic and PVC and all its relatives whenever possible. Colleen&Kail 05-02-2007, 08:22 PM omg! and why were they sent out without being tested....? |
