First it was the melamine found in the baby formula, next I watched on Londres telly about chemicals found in leather sofas made in this very country causing severe allergic reactions to those seated on their sofas.
And now this.
I am very troubled by this piece of news as I recall most toys I bought from ELC for Bubba is made in China. I know this because I specifically checked the label for the 'Made In' information. I am not prejudiced, however, looking at their track record, I am very wary of all products coming out of their country.
Last night I went through Bubba's clothes, blankets, mittens, socks, etc. My findings are:
- Mothercare and Marks & Spencer's products - mostly (almost all) made in India.
- Gap - Everything is made in China, except one piece of onesies that is made in Turkey.
This morning I washed all her stuff and they are now hanging out to dry. I can only hope the excess chemicals have been completely washed out.
Finally, the one question that's on my mind - should I bin her toys as there is no information made available on the materials used to produce the toys and she could be biting into some chemically-laden soft toys/ball/cloth-books/rattles and subsequently make herself ill in the long run?
