Fox news ran a story today where they examined a range of dog toys made in China, and you guessed it... found highly toxic amounts of lead!

The vet they interviewed is Sheldon Rubin of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Assoc. He conducted a random test of a variety of toys, and his conclusion for the time being was that people should throw out any pet toy made in Chinawith paint on it, such as the tennis balls with the black pawprints stamped on them, (found at PetCo and PetsMart) -which tested to have 30,000 parts per billion of lead, going straight into the dog's mouth -Other items listed were things like the plastic squeaker balls made to look like soccer or footballs, where th ey have the black paint squares/stripes stamped on them. He warned about certain ceramic
food dishes,too.  I'm sure there will be more on this coming in the news as people
start to look at our pet's toys with the same scrutiny as children's toys."
