The Healthy Canadians web site is starting to read like a horror story.  Today a new list of possibly fatal products for children were posted.  People have been calling for much closer scrutiny of imported products for  some time now. The majority of dangerous products
recalled have been produced in China and today's list kept them at the top of this nasty list.  Particularly worrisome is the inclusion again and again of products aimed at children that contain unacceptable levels of lead.

          Product                                                 Country of Origin

• My Baby brand pacifiers                                 Thailand
• magnets  play                                                  Billings, Montana
• Super Dooper Charms                                                China
• Shoelace Charms                                                        China
• CTG Kool Charms                                                     China
• Mini Hockey Stick                                                      China
• Make-It Special Pewter Embellishments                      China

The dangers of lead to growing brains has been well documented for many years.  Exposure at any level is harmful.  The Make-It Special Pewter Embellishments are especially worrisome because if a child swallows one, it contains enough lead to be fatal.

Our inspection services need to step up surveillance of imported goods from Asia.  Countries who continue to send us poisonous products for our children should be labelled  criminals states.
