Many of us are tired of dealing with dangerous children's products and have decided to take action. We even wrote about the advantages of shopping at responsible local toy stores because the owners tend to care more about you than the nameless employees at your local big box store.
I'm happy to share the following information from a toy store in Newton that is offering free lead testing on up to five of your existing toys. Now you can find out if that family heirloom train set is really covered in lead paint or not. Wonder no more!
Kudos to Green Planet Kids for providing this service!
LEAD TESTING DAY !
WHAT:
Concerned about recent reports of lead in toys? Bring in your toys to
be tested with state-of-the-art, high-powered testing equipment. This
is a free public service brought to you by Green Planet Kids in
partnership with a company that uses x-ray fluorescence technology.
WHEN:
Friday, November 30th, from 12 noon to 8 pm.
WHY:
With all the recent press coverage of toys that have been recalled
because of lead contamination, we had our merchandise tested so that
you can shop at Green Planet Kids with confidence. Now we want to
give you the opportunity to do the same with some of the favorite
toys that you have at home.
WHERE:

22 Lincoln Street

HOW:
Look for bright orange, red, or yellow toys, especially those that
are put in the mouth. Limit of 5 toys per household, please.
