    Just wondering about this 'must have' toy issue. It seems that these toys, made in China have 50% more levels of 'antimony' than is considered safe.

    The levels of the metal 'antimony' found in this toy are 93 parts per million, the safety limit is 63 parts per million (I did my research).

    Antimony is a metal which can cause cancer apparently. If it is ingested i.e. hand to mouth. It is has been used in the 'fur' and nose of the little hamster toys.

    This is just a heads up on this. I have links on this issue if needed but I'm sure folks / parents are mostly able to google and decide for themselves. But as a parent I think people should be aware of this possible issue. Like I said though, if further links and pointers to this issue are required I will put them up.

    I just feel that parents should be aware of this so at the very least they can decide for themselves about the risk factor.
