What "recent recalls"? also, are there any home kits I can buy to test ? Make your own - it's cheaper. Use any kind of thick, clear edible stuff (cornstarch and water) with either tempera paint or food coloring (buy the paste stuff meant for frostings, it's much stronger than the bottled stuff) Or use ivory soap flakes, a bit of water, and the colorant. The kids won't eat much of it. Tsu Dho Nimh -- When businesses invoke the "protection of consumers," it's a lot like politicians invoking morality and children - grab your wallet and/or your kid and run for your life. |

I didn't hear of any recalls either. Wow, could you imagine a recall because of lead in finger paints..*gasp*. also, are there any home kits I can buy to test ? I think that Ace Hardware stores or Lowe's or Home Depot carry lead testing kits. You take a swab of the area and send it away to be tested. Make your own - it's cheaper. Use any kind of thick, clear edible stuff (cornstarch and water) with either tempera paint or food coloring (buy the paste stuff meant for frostings, it's much stronger than the bottled stuff) Or use ivory soap flakes, a bit of water, and the colorant. The kids won't eat much of it. Tsu Dho Nimh You are right! They won't eat much of it, but they *will* rub it in their eyes... Brandy |
