Toys and children's necklaces made in China were recalled Wednesday, including five more items from the popular Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway product line, because they contain dangerous levels of lead.

RC2 Corp.'s "Knights of the Sword" series toys and some of its Thomas and Friends items, along with floor puppet theaters and gardening tools and chairs for children, were among the more than 601,000 toys and children's jewelry announced in the recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recalled toys contain high levels of lead in their surface paint, and the necklaces and jewelry sets contain excessive lead in some of their metal parts.

American factories, American jobs, American pride....but that would cut into the corporate profit.

Why weren't all these items tested before they came to the United States? Heads should roll for this, especially when you are talking children here.

Where does this end? Is it possible that big-ticket items, such as computers, furniture, etc. will also need to be recalled because of lead paint? I get the feeling that we've just hit the tip of the iceberg here.

Many thanks to the policies that brought this to us. Not only do we not have (as many) manufacturing jobs here anymore, but we're in debt to the Chinese, who send us dangerous and poisonous products, which aren't monitored well enough because Halliburton's tax cuts resulted in the underfunding of the government agencies that are supposed to protect us. Thanks Republicrats!

All recalled merchandise should be returned to the COMMUNIST CHINESE EMBASSY in D.C. directly.

Your assistance in this matter is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
