I believe they have to abide by Europe safety standards which are more stringent than here. at least now maybe we will have the same standards!? i couldn’t agree more. i had my daughter checked for lead two different times (two different ages) and she came out at a 1 lead level. i wish she had zero, but i don’t know if any of us have zero. anyone care to share lab results with me? i hope bill means safer present giving celebrations, safer playing, etc. which means healthier kids! one shop to share may be Gymboree products.
