Lead complaint filed against Disney - Page 2

mousepod · 04-12-2005, 12:31 PM

I just wish they would stop making lead so darn delicious...

Seriously, I wonder how many other toys currently have high lead levels. I can't imagine that Disney is the only company that uses this factory or that this is the only toy produced there...

Don't go outside, exposure to sunlight causes cancer.....

Shouldn't there be a sign at the front gate of DL with a sunlight exposure warning, or is there and I'm just not observant.

And here I thought this was going to be about a "lead" complaint filed by managerial-level CMs getting peon-level wages.

This isn't education, it's fear-mongering. What a ridiculous safety net.

Our set of dishes and mugs had the lead warning on them, causing us to research exactly what that meant and after seeing the facts, decided that we would buy them.

Name's joke about sun exposure is just as relevant as these fears.

Who's joking...

So we have an actual, measured health threat (flame retardant chemicals in breast milk) that doesn't seem to bother most people, but they're all in a tizzy about the eensy-est, most improbable lead risk that only shows up if you eat several dozen bracelets daily for years?

Oh well, at least my boobs won't catch fire when I breast feed, right?

I wasn't too concerned. I mean I read about this yesterday and laughed when my wife asked if I was going to take it off. Then today the tiniest bit of doubt crept in

Now that I'm done feeling foolish...

Thank you for pulling me from the path of near baseless fear.

whoa... flamethrower boobs... I've seen missile launchers in Japanese anime, but I don't recall flamethrowers...

Today in my SDG&E (gas company) bill I received the following statement:

Quote:

Proposition 65 Warning

Warning
Natural gas and some materials used by San Diego Gas & Electric at its facilities and work areas contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm

YAY!
