This is getting tiresome. "Senators ask if China toys should be detained". A better question would be whether or not all Mattel / Fisher-Price toys should be detained. It is Fisher-Price's responsibility to keep lead out of the mouths of the children who play with their toys. The fact that Fisher-Price has chosen not to test for lead content either in the toy factories, or even at the ports where the toys are exported to the US, shows that Fisher-Price is choosing to reduce toy costs by delayed testing after the toys are already sold. Testing for lead in paint does not take four months; the toys could easily have been tested before they were sent to stores.
The Chinese manufacturers are partially responsible for this debacle (they know that toys were supposed to be lead-free), but Fisher-Price is more responsible because they waited until months after the toys were in the stores (and kids' mouths) to even do their testing.
Update: OK, this kind of honesty makes me feel better, even if it is a few months too late.
