Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I think I would find this more amusing if I didn't have to go through all of my 2 year old's toys every time they announce a recall. Not to mention having to have her tested for lead poisening last month. Oh look, another recall today! Lemmie go see which of my kid's toys go in the bin today. :rolleyes: |
